For the sake of your own sanity & all that is un-holy, do not click either one. Although we'd usually refer to the two of them as media weasels, we really just like the headline.
Nonetheless, I clicked. Both. (I do not actually have a problem with either of those people.)
I did not have a problem with either article, uh, either, though Arianna's could be called a little over-protesting and Bill's could be called a little stuffy and faux-self-deprecating.
Admit it. You actually feel just about the same way. ;)
As with navel-gazing, linking based only on familiarity with the headline is a weblog tradition, and you know how we are instructed to be aware of all of those.
You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have an attorney present while you are commenting. If you cannot afford an attorney, you are "Shit Outta Luck" (SOL). Anything you type here can & may be used against you in a court of law or in a personal "beat-down" administered by a staff member or "associate" of this "web log."
The publisher thanks Google/Bugger for denecessitating verification. (Not that we need explain anything to anyone.)
And a fine headline it was.

Misanthropic Editor Admits:
ReplyDeleteWell, we have problems w/ people in general. Then it worsens as we move up to those in positions of power, wealth & authority.
We didn't read either one, just saw the accusations at memeorandum & figured the headline would work. Tempest in a teapot, fighting egomaniacs & all.
We may need a disclaimer: "Items linked may or may not have been read by the editorial staff, & no guarantees are offered or implied."
No disclaimer needed, I should think.
ReplyDeleteAs with navel-gazing, linking based only on familiarity with the headline is a weblog tradition, and you know how we are instructed to be aware of all of those.
