It's the ongoing conundrum: be bummed that PC is taking up blog inches that could otherwise be used by a capable and competent political blogger, or be happy that at least when he does post he usually can only muster a few sentences of original content? Hmm.
And if he might actually reference which publication he works for, the Merc's editors will change their work to disguise the fact that he doesn't work for the Mercury, and not tell you.
