Responding To Accusations That Haven't Been Made

Some people might think that I have missed the boat on this blogging thing.  If you are one of those people, then you are a retard.  To paraphrase Will Leitch, the founding editor of the popular sports blog Deadspin, blogging is merely just another form of writing.  Naturally, upon hearing this, Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger told Leitch that he was "full of shit," complaining that because any schmuck can write a blog, the overall quality of blogs will be mediocre compared to any kind of published work, but Leitch more or less countered that if any schmuck could get his work published, then the quality of that published work would also reflect the general schmuck-dom of society (he should have put it like I have, don't you think?). Follow?  

I don't think I am saying anything earth-shattering here, but it's good to reiterate these ideas every so often.  Especially when they are the correct ideas, which they are.  Because I said them.

At any rate, blogging has been going on since our ancestors drew cave-paintings on the wall.  If you don't think cave-painting is a form of blogging, then you're not Tom Hanks.  Or his character in the DaVinci Code.
