I wish we could have heard more from members of the Kentucky Coal Association about why coal mining is "a good thing." It would have added some balance. A quote from the Bush Administration or congressman in favor of aggressive coal mining would have been nice too.

This is great writing, but there's no attribution to any of the research in this article. The author didn't quote the Alecs or talk to any viewers who watch God TV. If anything, this article reads more like a blog post. It'd be nice to hear comments from outsiders who don't regularly watch God TV and hear what they have to say. The article also ends very abruptly, without a kicker. However, the writing is good in this piece.

A very well written piece rich with information. I wish the author could have interviewed someone in the government for their opinion of Ms. Novak or others in the Arab world who don't agree with her blogging. The article also touts her as a "stay at home mom" who blogs "when the kids are at school." Well, what do her husband and kids think about what she's doing? One of her major constraints to take her site even further is her family, and we don't hear from them.
