Ann Althouse & Name Use/Abuse: Illegal, Immoral, Unethical, Unscrupulous, Pusillanimous, Shameful, Embarrassing & Probably Fattening

We don't pay much attention to the Divine Ms. A. (Well, just a little.) If we hadn't seen her on bloggingheads.tv once (not even the infamous Garance "diavlog") &, as The Only Man in Southern California Interested in Dating W/in His Own Age Group©, found her not unattractive, we probably wouldn't pay any attention to her at all, let alone play "Poke the Encaged Blogger w/ a Stick." But when you see something this inane, it takes a bettter person than us to resist:

I've set up a Google alert to keep track of the use and abuse of my name, so I received the text in my email.

And just what has irked her majesty?

TRex put up a post at the high-traffic blog Firedoglake exhorting his readers: "Please feel free to post your comments on this post under the name 'Ann Althouse'. I've done it before. It's totally fun."

Great Gobs of Goo!! The nerve of the little bastard! How dare he? And at a "high-traffic blog" yet!! Because he knows it'll get a rise out of her?

How shameful and embarrassing! At least he had the wits to think better of it and try to hide it. Or maybe he's just afraid of getting into trouble for impersonating me. What an unscrupulous, pusillanimous little twerp!

Ms. Althouse™®© (Mercy sakes, we hope we don't get sued for even mentioning her name) has labeled her item under: "ageism, anti-Althousiana," & a couple of other labels. So, anything that has something to do w/ her is ageist? Even if it doesn't mention her age? The only "ageism" we see here is a person old beyond her yrs. who takes herself entirely too seriously. (Note the self-promotion in her blog header.) We're AARP eligible too & honestly, where's the ageism here? Lighten up, you old biddy, or the kids won't let us play w/ them any more & our mental faculties will really start to decline!! Is the "sexism" label automatically assumed under "Anti-Althousiana?" Granted, Just Another Blog (From L. A.)™ isn't a "high-traffic blog" (Is that the only kind Ms. A. deigns to recognize?) & we haven't received too much notice, but even our colossal ego (note our constant use of the "royal" or "editorial" second-person plural) hasn't considered a "They're Out to Get Us" category. We just assume that under the "Militarized Society" & "Police Terror" categories, & we don't even think it's personal, more political. Last clue: No one @ Sadly, No! or anywhere else thinks it's really you commenting, Ann. They're making fun of you, because you lend yourself so well to amusement at your expense. Perhaps were you to climb off your high horse of self-righteous indignation people wouldn't be poking fun at you all the time.
