IT MAY NOT BE A GOOD ONE BUT THERE'S A REASON WE'RE NOT NAMED "SUCKBULL"
The mysterious gothic Udolpho smacks both bloggers and professional pundits around a bit:
No one pays these weblog writers for the very good reason that their services aren't worth that much, and neither are those of the professional pundit class. (Keep in mind that pundits are incredibly shiftless creatures; most consider looking a word up in the dictionary "research". ...)But bloggers, who have replaced pundit-style "research" with Google, do have some benefits. Udolpho thinks blogs are
an ideal platform for advancing debate and forcing news media to be more responsive. You don't even have to suck up to anyone on the local alternative weekly flyer editorial board (a hairy Lesbian, some angry black guy, and a dishevelled, brooding asshole with 15 Kerry stickers on the back of his 1995 Geo Metro).No more sucking up. We recommending spitting.
