Blogger + Google + Time = News

Aside from revealing an important tidbit about "Lizzy in a Tizzy: The Dirty Needle Mommy,"** Kevin at Lakeshore Laments shows the value of what a few minutes of Google can do. I bet it took about 30 seconds to Google the name, 5 minutes to check out the results, and maybe 15 (ugh) to put the links into the post. Lots of cut-and-paste, but for that 20-30 minutes of research, Kevin showed another side to the story that the MSM missed. That's why what you all do on your blogs is important. Kevin did the research, "50,000 Watt Charlie"*** picked it up, and now countless people will have access to the information Kevin dug up because he alone took the time to do it.

Hey, we all post clunkers now and then, but every once in awhile, you guys come up with something that adds new dimension to a story. Kevin did that today. Good job, Kevin.

**By the way, if anyone needs someone to name their TV movie of the week, I'm your gal.

***Or your local celebrity.
