Well, we won. Kind of.

I think in my very firstest blog post I referenced a study by the National Endowment for the Arts that showed there'd been a decline in literary reading among adults every year for the last quarter century. But 2008 was different.

So I've been at this blogging thing for a few months now, and judging from my comments sections, it would seem I've messed up kind of a lot. Which is to be expected, I suppose, as my personality is composed of equal parts naivety and ego -- a mixture conducive to blanket statements that I can't ever quite back up. So I've decided to issue some retractions in today's post, and also to defend myself a little bit where I feel it's warranted.
