Chris Floyd: "Why we write."

Answering a critic who criticized his insolent tone and objected to his characterization of Obama's military policies as effectively indistinguishable from Bush's --to say nothing of many of the relevant participants-- today at Imperial Burlesque, Chris Floyd produced a stemwinder which included the following declaration:

I write about these things for one reason only: to bear witness, to put down for the record that I saw the evil being committed in my name, and that I spoke out against it, as fully and honestly as I knew how.

Yup; sounds about right to me.
