Insta-blogging

One of the key things required to maintain a political blog, it seems, is that unless it's your full-time job, you need to be able to formulate an opinion on any story right away.

I wonder if other bloggers, or readers, have a problem doing that. Personally, it takes a few days' worth of digging into a story to get the details and a wide variety of opinions for me to formulate an opinion of a story, or a proposed policy.

It seems to me to be a good idea, lest I look like a fool for making a snap judgement that turns out to be wrong, a problem that seems to be common among partisan hacks.
