blaise cronin* has issues with blogs
"The biliousness and rebarbativeness that one encounters in the slum dwellings of the blogoshpere are, ultimately, damaging to the social and institutional fabric of this nation, while the faux egalitarianism and flagrant anti-intellectualism of so many exchanges provide a depressing commentary on post-Baby Boomer, anything-goes, American society. I entitled this rejoinder ‘Vox populi.’ It should probably have read ‘Pox populi.’"
