   explain the point of commenting on blogs.

   Commenting on blogs is like chatting, arguing or ranting in a pub about the latest news - not sure what the point is, but people have done it for centuries so it seems to be a natural human need and sometimes you even learn something.

   I have no idea why I would want to twitter or why anyone thinks it’s interesting, but maybe I’m just getting old.

   Matt is a New Media Douchebag? I thought he was a Trust Fund Scumbag? The interwebs are so confusing.

    Explains why the biggest pains in the behind from the Obama campaign I had to deal with were the vainglorious “New Media” jackoffs. They were all far too cool for school, and every time I had to deal with them, I could feel them sap my feelings of Hope and enthusiasm for the campaign.

    I think the new media douchebags are less douchebaggy than the old media douchebags. Why should we be any more inclined to listen to Bill Kristol than Matt Yglesias?

    Or me, for that matter?
