Sorry to keep taking you to New York Times' op-ed page, but here's a reminder to all of us from Maureen Dowd (see the whole article at Maureen Dowd August 13 )

"The most telling sign that the Internet is no longer the cool American frontier? Blogs, which sprang up to sass the establishment, have been overrun by the establishment.

In a lame attempt to be hip, pols are posting soggy, foggy, bloggy musings on the Internet. Inspired by Howard Dean's success in fund-raising and mobilizing on the Web, candidates are crowding into the blogosphere — spewing out canned meanderings in a genre invented by unstructured exhibitionists."

Gentle reminder, hoping to avoid irony: Let's all try to avoid being soggy & foggy and avoid spewing out canned meanderings, okay? Please, sass away at the establishments. If nothing else, at least we'll be hip.
