Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, May 15, 2009My Morning in ExileA comment I received to one of my NBC posts this morning:Craig, I understand that you are an MSNBC employee, but this isn't a "News Event" piece. It's an "Opinion" piece. An opinion I largely share, incidentally, but listing this as news instead of opinion seems to be ethically murky, particularly by a professional. So there you have it; blogs can't offer opinion. I hope that guy doesn't go reading my archives from the past two years or else I'll be in real trouble. Anyway: And once again I have to aplogize to you, dear readers. I have a huge brief that has to be filed today, and I'm nowehere near done with it. That means that I have to pry myself away from the blog this afternoon. I promise sanity and more regular posting will resume on Monday. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 11:57am Comments

Actually, I make no promises there. I’ll probably continue to bungle my law practice in the same manner I have for the past 11 years. Posted 05/15 at 12:31 PM

Arg. The saying it “another think coming”! And don’t get me started on apostrophes and the subjunctive! Posted 05/15 at 12:44 PM

Sorry Mark. I guess I’ve always said that wrong. I blame Judas Priest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You’ve_Got_Another_Thing_Comin’ And yes, I note that Wikipedia says that JP got it wrong too. Posted 05/15 at 12:48 PM

Craig, I think you’ve misinferred what that NBC commenter meant there. Look at the tag under the post title. All he told you was that it was wrongly tagged, and I would presume he would agree with you that you can offer opinion on a blog. Posted 05/15 at 12:58 PM

Matt—I do believe you’re right. I have gone back to the thread where the comment first appeared and apologized to the commenter. In my defense, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed those tags before, and wasn’t aware that I could change them (still not sure I can; I’m going to look now). Thanks. Posted 05/15 at 01:04 PM

“Another thing coming” is, in my opinion, a better, more all-encompassing and useful phrase than “another think coming.” Thing just sounds better than think. I applaud your use of it Craig, and if anyone thinks I’m going to change the phrase I say just because I’m saying it “wrong,” well they got another thing coming. Posted 05/15 at 01:27 PM
