Meta-Blogging 21: The Cocktail Version
Via Unfogged, which remains too intimidating to comment at, this Playboy cheat-sheet to the US political blogs. As Ogged notes, it should be considered an arrival of some kind.
It shouldn't really be considered a good guide to the political blogs, though. Anyone who actually reads Yglesias would be expected to know, for example, that he can't or won't spell properly, that he has a fixation on The Wire, and that he's very, very young. You'll be outed instantly as a poseur if you don't know these things, none of which the Playboy guide mentions. I guess that's the nature of Playboy guides to pithy uninformed conversation, though.

No no, please come along! Start your own in-jokes, we're easy! And I promise not to pick on any typos or grammar, unless you start.
Well, thanks for the welcome--you'll forgive me if I'm shy, though, won't you? I can hardly compete in the slash fiction, punnery, or cock joke categories...
