Quote of the Day

"I hope I'm not stepping in it too badly here, but I think it's time to remind some people that bloggers aren't a race or a religion. For some it may be a way of life or a creed or some such. But that may be part of the problem… It increasingly seems that bloggers, as a group, don't like criticism period. This is a gross generalization about a sentiment more than absolute declaration of fact. But I get more and more email from bloggers -- or devout blog readers -- in which the correspondents make it sounds as if criticizing the medium is entirely illegitimate and almost immoral… Blogging is a medium not a caste. I think it's a very exciting and important one. But if bloggers want to be taken more seriously they might want to become a little bit less defensive. Maybe I just don't get it, but there's something about all of this which reminds of the Seinfeld where everybody calls Jerry an anti-Dentite because he doesn't like dentists.”
Jonah Goldberg, National Review. It’s about time someone said this about the bloggers- not to mention the blacks and Jews. Posted by Stephen Silver at February 22, 2005 10:49 PM

I hate to have to actually explain this put-down to you, so just watch Stripes. The last third, after they graduate, you can skip: it detracts from the rest of the movie.
