NB: When you make an error, eg about HuffPo 'ripping off the original source,' it's considered good form to acknowledge the error instead of disappearing it. It also prevents the cognitive dissonance...

"no stone unturned" "from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan to Mayor Richard M. Daley"...

"other things in there as well that kind of relate to her being a female" I assumed she was referring to silk gloves, hand-held fans, and perhaps pretty pressed flowers. What are these tampons you s...

I think the simplest explanation for the piece is that "what is the deal with [gender] + [stereotype]!?!?" is Web Troll Bait 101. That construction is the crystal meth of content, at least if you're n...

Sorry to be obsessive about my point, but the fact that all the WBEZ listeners here have never heard of Vocalo is part of the plan. Malatia actually explains why in the Reader article. It's not a mist...

That's, er, Woebegon....

Though I wouldn't push things by making "Gapers Block" possessive....

I'm less offended by the retrograde sexism than the idea that people need to be encouraged to buy Guitar Hero III. "And while you're playing it you can drink this great beer I heard about called 'Coro...

Not to mention that the sarcasm reflects badly on blogs in general....
