Dear bloggers... no, the video clip does not say it all

I say this with love. I am, after all, one of you. And from time to time I post a video clip with little or no commentary because it has moved or affected me in a way that transcends words.

News and interviews do not fall into that category, however. So stop posting a video clip with little or no commentary and think you've accomplished anything at all.

I have now looked at the sixth or seventh re-posting of whatever it is Keith Olbermann had to say about Adam Lambert being gay. I don't know what he actually said, because I haven't watched the video clips. I keep clicking because I hope that one of you is going to include, I don't know, some commentary or a quote or two, or even a little bit of your own writing telling us what this means in the context of any of the TEN THOUSAND CULTURAL, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL TRENDS SWEEPING THIS COUNTRY TODAY to which this story is relevant.

I admit I went to journalism school and perhaps I'm being just too old-fashioned, but hey, I love me some Twittery link sharing as much as anyone. But that is not what blogs are for and if all I wanted was the link, well, I saw it on Facebook within four minutes of it hitting someone's DVR.

I don't need a lot. I just need you to write something. Isn't that why you became a blogger in the first place?

Now I'm curious as to what Keith said. And I'm at work so can't watch. Dang!
