Notice of Abdication and Other Business

Half-Bakered has received many emails and comments since we added the feedback system to the blog. But we quickly learned that no one is fooled by the royal use of "we" in our posts, as done here. We thought it was a fun mockery of the newsprint tendency to do the same, but it seems more a tired gag. Half-Bakered is indeed run by one person, who will still remain anonymous.

The Commercial Appeal has, time and again, demonstrated no compunction about going after those it perceives as impediments to its agenda. Ask Heidi Schafer, who had her home address published, and Duncan Ragsdale; both opposed the Grizzlies' drive to use public funds and both were pilloried by the CA. Mike Fleming also goes after those he can safely attack.

We are under no illusions that we rate that highly, but we also don't want to take chances. We must protect ourselves against those whose resources dwarf our own.

Beginning tomorrow, Half-Bakered will begin speaking like normal folks and use "I." We hope this will not be upsetting to our readers.

We will also be going back through posts of the day before and cleaning up the typos and other errors. Oy! Such an embarrassment!

And lastly, we've added some new links to our list. One's a Memphis blogger; one's Tennessean; the other's a radio station. More to come tomorrow.

Until next time, that is all.
