Joan, I am beginning to wonder at your level of education, or at least your EQ. So many of your articles consist of defensive whining about things personal to you, such as your complaints about how Obama said the fights of the 60's (your era) are over, or your complaints about sexism, and now your complaint about your city, San Francisco, getting a bad rap. Don't you have enough journalistic integrity to try to be objective and write about something that matters to your readers and not just yourself? You need to get some perspective. If it weren't for the excellent, rigorously journalistic articles written by Glen Greenwald, I would cancel my subscription.
Joan, get some humility. All of these complaints about your blogs may actually add up to a problem for you. Instead of having yet another knee jerk reaction, do some hard thinking.
