I get email.

This just arrived:

Ann;

I literally stumbled on your "blog" last night and tried to actually read some of it, feeling as though I was reading some highschool girl's diary to her girlfriend, complete with buzzwords and inside jokes. I assume that your writing is meant for a very small circle of friends who know or think they know what you're talking about.

"The debate was bad in ways that debates are often bad. The ultra-badness comes from being bad now."

What better example of liberalspeak.....meaningless even while at best it seems to suggest a negative reaction to the "debate!" Huah!

Ann, yours is the kind of spoiled silliness that Americans in flyover country have trouble understanding. I suspect that like Obama, you teach fringe elements of law school, more the liberal indoctrination theme, and I cannot possibly imagine you holding anyone in suspense over whom you will vote for in November!

You're certainly in the right place....Madison has more than their share of ding-a-lings!

Sincerely,

Charlie

I'm posting this as evidence of my cruel neutrality.

IN THE COMMENTS: Pete the Streak is moved to point us to The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.

Sounds like Charlie's a bit grumpy.

Then again, I would be too if I had "literally stumbled on your 'blog.'"

Ann, you really shouldn't leaving it out like that. Someone could hurt themselves.

And you know, there is also a blog dedicated to the misuse of the word "literally": Literally, a Web Log. (The top post right now is about Biden: "I don?t know who this guy is. I don?t know his politics. But anyone who can use literally that many times in one speech has my vote.")
