The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Imagine John G. Roberts Needing to Respond to a Question on How His White Maleness Enhances His Judicial Decisions
posted 06-06-09
Monica Youn makes a good case that the fact that Judge Sonia Sotomayor was virtually forced to publicly make a statement on why her gender and ethnicity makes her a better judge putting her on the spot in a manner that could be embarassing in future confirmation periods.
And as shown by my title above, she shows that the societal demand that the judge make some kind of statement on her effectiveness due to her heritage and sex is, in itself a form of bigotry.
