What do I do?
I spin stories. That's mostly what this blog has been. I never set out with a goal, but it has become a very strogn trend: I take a political story from the media and spin it a different way. Usually no better justified than the media piece: I have one source, they have one source. I am not really any more rigorous, just presenting an alternative interpretation of things. I don't think this is valueless: one, alternative interpretations show that the given, standard story is *not necessarily* the one you want to accept, you should at least regard it with some scepticism; two, I am pretty honest, I don't try to claim to be an authority - I'm just offering my opinion, and I will come back and revise that opinion. So it's somewhat a train of thought, but I hope it shows something useful and is interesting sometimes. I don't (necessarily) want you to think what I think, for I will often be wrong, but I hope I'm spreading methodological scepticism.
