Real reporting keeps reporter from blogging

Bakersfield Californian blogger Danielle Belton has not updated her blog since last Wednesday. Why? Her real job as the entertainment reporter for The Californian keeps getting in the way.
While turning around stories on bands, back to school fashions and even covering a funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq, Belton found herself shirking from her blog duties. She promises new, fresh bloggy goodness on the Belton Blog as early as Tuesday and as late as Wednesday.
Belton encourages readers, if they wish, to spend their valuable times either reading other blogs or using the comment thread to tell Belton what clubs/bars she should review, what concerts/shows she should write about or to discuss how the protestors totally punked out (as they should have) on picketing the funeral.
"Back in the day a bigot wasn't afraid to catch a beat down for their offensive beliefs," Belton said. "Perhaps the fact that every biker in Bakersfield showed up was the Kern County equivelent of nuclear deterrence. Those motorcycle enthusists, all leathered up, riding up and down the street, Harleys gleeming in the sun, were Bako's way of saying to the world — we have the bomb, crazy bigots. And we aren't afraid to use it!"
