My mom always tried to say nice things about people, as she believed in that old fashioned saying that "if you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say it."

This same rule applies all the more to the recently deceased. I offer this by way of explanation for my silence about Peter Jennings death, but I've finally thought of something nice to say about him.

In his own way, I think he did a lot for the blogosphere. (Maybe not as much as Dan Rather, but then, no one is perfect.)

That was nice, wasn't it?
