Do I write because I write?

He could have bought some good drugs with the money he wasted on that J-School thingy!

I write because I write?

Not exactly Descartes Cogito ergo sum is it. More like, I know how to write therefore I do. No thought needed I guess.

"... which included the unfortunate choice of the term "blood libel".

The term "blood libel" has been used before, by liberal commentators smearing conservative poiticans.

Here's one example (of many -- it would be useful to see a collection of these instances, to throw back in the face of liberal beserkers):

Florida Democrat Peter Deutsch, just after the 2000 election, on CNN's Crossfire:

Let me just talk a little bit about the whole, I guess, spin from the Republicans about — which has been to me the absolute most — the worst statements I have ever heard probably in my life about anything. I mean, almost a blood libel by the Republicans towards Al Gore, saying that he was trying to stop men and women in uniform that are serving this country from voting. That is the most absurd thing and absolutely has no basis in fact at all.
