Whoa
I completely missed this somehow, but in November, my blog received a reference on the Columbia Journalism Review's website.
Here is the article. In it, I'm referred to as a "laptop pundit". Sweet.
The mention is related to this Cerulean Blue post about Samuel Alito and anagrams. Sadly, the article takes a dark turn towards the end. The author of the piece goes on to suggest that us word-play nerds are merely using online anagram generators. For the record: I don't need verbal crutches, nor do I ever use them. My mind is a generator of anagrams, okay Mr. Felix, you ass-huffing chimpanzee? I think you're just jealous about the fact that you write for the lowly Columbia Journalism Review, while I write for...you know, this small, piece-of-crap looking blog. So...take that!

That's pretty cool actually. Even if he did imply that you used a anagram generator.
For what it is worth, I have no doubts about your intelligence.

I actually agree, it is cool. The article is supposed to be taken lightly, so I just thought it was a nifty, fun little deal.

Wow that is kind of cool. I can't imagine any post of mine being quoted anywhere. I don't even like quoting me.

Don't worry, Girl With An Alibi. Whereas Matt's been quoted and linked to in the Columbia Journalism Review, he has links to us. So we are Goddesses by association. :-)))

Hey Matt!!! Someone quoted me as well.
To be honest, I periodically check myself in Google anyway, but since you had been quoted, I did that again.
Some person in Italy posted my peace song, along with 700+ other peace songs in english, along with a link to an english to italian computer translation page, so that italian speakers can read a butchered version of my peace song. Hahahaha.

So I've been immortalized too. Yea!!!! Although it would be much cooler if the Columbian Journalism Review would get in the act.

Wow, this is me, rubbing shoulders with someone famous. Well, commenting on the blog of someone quoted.
That is pretty cool though. I guess I'm thirding that motion, there.

Hey! That last comment is officially the most nonsensical and badly comment I've ever written. Hmmmm...maybe I should stop now.
