   “The short version is that he’s none too impressed with these popular blogs, but he apparently reads them constantly.”

   OK, I admit it: Wonkette has become one of my must-reads. I don’t expect Deep Thoughts, but there’s a market for monofilament fluff, and I’m apparently a consumer in it.

   I will never forgive her for starting later and getting more traffic than me, though. :)

   Jack Shafer is just…strange. As evidence, I offer two quotes:

   Now, where I came from, if you intend to kill the puppy for fun, you must first make friends with it for a few days so there’s a whiff of surprise when the slaughter arrives.

   And his closing comment,

   …treat both blogs as you would a loaded staple gun. Instruments of fun, but best used with caution.

   Or maybe it’s just a contrast of my literalist/engineering bent with Shafer’s more imaginative mind.
