what blogs are…
a helpful list for the mainstream media.
a few of my favorites:
- Having a blog without comments is like operating a chainsaw while wearing proper eye protection. Sure, you can do it, but it makes you a sissy.
- Some blogs are powerful, media-shaking tools for factchecking slanted journalism. These blogs are called Powerline, and the facts are whatever Hindrocket says they are you stupid liberals plotting against me with your sneaky memos and telephoto lenses and I hate you all.
- If Mark Twain was living today, he’d be a blogger. If Henry David Thoreau was living today, he’d be a blogger. If Jesus was living today, he’d have the best Internet connectivity of anyone, and his site wouldn’t have any popup ads for mortgage refinancing.
- A blog is like a friendly neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. Except they only know your fake name, not your real one. So it’s like a singles bar. Except nobody knows what sex you are, unless you tell them. And you might be lying. Then Alex gets drunk and kills a guy.
ok, so I changed the last one a little bit. but it still applies.
