That's the title of young Cinnamon Stilllwell's latest in the online version of the SF Chron. Great piece. Read the whole thing. And print media folk: please notice that, with all the informative links worked into her piece, this Marin County refugee and 9/11 Republican is essentially a guest op-ed writer AND blogger at the same time.

Mmmm hmmn. Yes. Really. Gulp. Emerging paradigmn shift. Troublesome, or inspiring? The latter, one hopes.

Abundant links in an online, mainstream newspaper op-ed piece. And the Chron is leading the way with this most worthy boundary-blurring.

Taken together, Stillwell's topic matter and methods complement each other most auspiciously. Stillwell's Chron Watch colleague Adam Sparks helped start this online-op-ed/cum de-facto blogging trend at The Chron. And conservative, online, regular Chron guest op-ed columnist Jennifer Nelson exemplifies it, too. More on all that in this earlier Rosenblog post titled, "Intellectual Diversity in San Francisco."

Meanwhile, back in the land of eternal winter sunshine (almost), Seattle blogger and think tank fellow James J. Na writes in today's Seattle Times about a real Iraqi martyr.

Congratulations to James for clarifying the real meaning of the word "martyr."
