Been plugging my way through the recommended readings in the Harvard Classics. Yesterday’s fifteen minutes was a bit o’ Voltaire. The man, it seems, was a blogger.
Tongue-in-cheek sarcastic humor? Check.
Disdain for some or all establishments and authorities? Check.
Penchant for short rants? Check.
Ah, but does ol’ Francois-Marie use the following hip phrasing liberally:
“TEH INTERNETZ ARE THE SHIZZZZ!!!! :)”
“ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”
“NUMA-NUMA”
If not, then bloggers 1, French egg-head 0
Way to go Fox News. Fine, make the dateline Nashua. But what do Nashua officials have to do MHS? (Say it again.)
Oops. Way to go AP.
Sorry, Fox News, but you still suck.
Ok, weirder still.
The original, full-length story has it correct, but some (AP, I’m guessing) idiot changed it from “Merrimack officials” to “Nashua officials” in the abbreviated version.
The worst part: both WMUR (channel 9) and Dover’s newspaper have it wrong. Ok, I’m done.
