Layers of irony: If you're part of the metablogging scene, you've
undoubtedly seen John Dvorak (who I'm not going to justify with a link
because he wasn't even entertaining back when his hook was randomly
bolding words in his column) look stupid taking apart The Cluetrain
Manifesto. Which is pretty amazing,
'cause Cluetrain is some of the most
puerile Pollyanna "new economy" speak out there; to go and make an ass
of yourself critiquing it can only be a desperate cry for attention
from someone in the death-throes of irrelevance. But while looking at
the various sputtering from both sides I saw that Rage
Boy says that Michael Moore's Stupid White Men is #1 on
Amazon. You want your refutation of both Moore and
Cluetrain
, in one entry? It's right there, baby.

reading that phrase is the best thing that's happened to me all day.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
