The comment of the day today was written by Node of Evil and comes once again from a Digby comments thread. The comment is about what to call that class of faux-blogs that are nothing more than fronts for the Beltway establishment to enable them to claim popular support:
Ooh, ooh, I’ve got it — we can call those sorts of sites (HotSoup, Swampland, Pajamas Media, etc.) “Astroblogs”:
Astroblog (adj.):
1.)A blog or collection of blogs set up to look like a public forum, when really it’s just a soapbox for the proprietor.
2.)A blog or collection of blogs set up with much fanfare and venture capital but no real readership and/or original content.
