I would have played it the same way if I was in the position you were. Lets (oh, ****, forgot the apostrophe) get away from the topic of not knowing what I am talking about and change the focus to a typo on an internet forum. Great.

I dug around and found your wonderful source of knowledge and enlightenment (did I spell that right?). In the future, you would be wise not to pass off a "column" as an "article". Surely that mistake is more egregious (sp?) than subsituting Your for You're (especially when i used your earlier in the same sentence).

In case anyone wanted the link to the "column". In case you didn't know, Danzig, a "column" is a reflection of the writer's opinion. A news article should just be fact.

if you would be so kind, go back to where i posted the first excerpt and tell me where i wrote 'news' or 'column'. you inferred i used it as news, and have gotten on a pretty high horse as a result.

here, so you don't have to go back and find it, i cut and pasted it:

this is from yesterday, i googled 'barack obama bush tax'. this came up first on the list...an excerpt:

Obama has change of heart about Bush tax cuts as polls favor McCain

By Ross Balano, Midwest Voices Columnist 2008

Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama had a change of heart yesterday about one of his major campaign issues; the Bush Tax Cuts.

The Associated Press quotes Obama as now saying that “he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.”

Two things struck me about this comment.

First; he uses the term increase. This is the first time I’ve heard him admit that rescinding the Bush cuts would in reality be a tax increase.

Second; he admits that an increase would hurt the economy.

For about as long as he has been running for president, which seems like forever, Obama has been preaching the woes of the Bush Tax Cuts. For those of you in Alma, those are the tax cuts pushed through congress by President Bush that Obama and fellow Democrats claim were “tax breaks for the rich” and are “shrinking the middle class.” Repealing that work of the evil Bush administration was “job one.” So why the change of heart?

I posted the link to the "blog" earlier. And the article isn't even complete. But taking just what is in the actual article, you can see where your "blog" doesnt tell the story. You should look at the interview.

Even if we're still in a recession, I'm going to go through with my tax cuts," Obama said. "That's my priority."

Again, factcheck.org
