Leyva blogging from the shadows

You'll notice that last week I posted a comment on Mark Leyva's blog, when he was slamming the federal "bailout" of Fannie and Freddie.  At that time I wondered aloud if he would actually post the comment, or deign to debate the complicated issue.  Don't mess with housing until you spend the time and the energy to understand it.  

Let me be the first to say to politicians playing around at blogging, STOP IT!  Either engage and debate and be transparent, or quit playing like you care.  Blogs aren't for broadcasting your recent thoughts and then disregarding feedback, that's what newspapers and TV's do ... we've all moved beyond that. 

Here's his recent post and my comment, which again probably won't get published or responded, for the record I bought a ticket and now I'm wondering if that was a bad idea.

   I knew I was wishing openness and fairness on you Mark. It can’t be a good call to try and raise money in Jon Costas’ neighborhood while going against the grain.

   If you want to blog, then blog openly.

   If you want to broadcast, there are other means for doing so.
