Okay, a quick update on why we're writing so much about Ford.

We've got a lot of readers now and many may not be aware of AMERICAblog's, and my, history of activism, so they may not be aware that we sometimes go off on specific issues and beat them like a dead horse until we win. Several examples: the Jeff Gannon/James Guckert GOP reporter/prostitute story; Microsoft dropping its support for gay rights earlier this year; Hurricane Katrina; the GOP refusing to sponsor an anti-lynching resolution.

To the newbies, all this posting on one topic may come as a surprise.

But it's part of what we do here. We don't just report the news and analyze it, we're here to help make the world a better place. You will never see a day where we only talk about one subject - we're already talking about a lot of things. But you will see moments, usually around 4 times a year, when we focus like a laser-beam on one specific topic, while still covering the rest of the news.

This is one of those times.

Thanks, JOHN
