Just so we're clear. 03:49 PM 9 comments July 30, 2004 Fallout from the Blog Bomb Is it anti-communitarian of me to say that I'm wryly amused by all the 'bloggers' jostling like wee piggies for a 1981 in sports nipple at the Democratic convention? That jockeying for pole position in the anecdote-race to be the first to fellate the rich and powerful is a teeny bit distasteful to me? Will I get in trouble (again) with all those otherwise good and smart people who 1981 in sports are all a-twitter about the 1981 in sports fact that they really really matter now? Now that they're inside the chalk borders of the pentagram? I mean, it's cute, all right. Sure. Like the wallflower become belle of the ball. And having them tell themselves, and us, in public, how it's a sign that the heavy elements of democracy are sinking through the clouds of the blogosphere, like the glittering dusty fallout from the Blog Bomb, back onto the heads of the Common People?
