Wisconsin Blog Post Of The Week (At Least)!

Unfortunately, though, an update in folkbum's dKos diary indicates that the Horowitz fan club seems to be less nice, on balance, than the creationists.

(*) It was always fun in the early days of the blog to see which A-list-ish bloggers, when linked, would inevitably track down the link, determine (I suppose) that insufficient taking-of-name-in-vain was occurring in the microbial regions of the ecosystem, and leave quietly.
Via Stacie at the Vast Dairy State Conspiracy, I see that Milwaukee's folkbum gets a nod from professional right-wing ass David Horowitz. Congratulations, Jay! Jay's post, which deserves to be read in full, highlights a few neat tidbits:
- Horowitz equates "surfing the blogosphere" with doing Technorati searches of his name. (*)
- Horowitz has difficulty accurately transcribing even short phrases from the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. There's no excuse in not using Ctrl-C.
- Horowitz is deaf to rhetorical devices including hyperbole, Simpsons references, and presumably also irony (which is either so dead or so subtle that even loyal readers here seem to miss it from time to time) and goldy and bronzy.
