Disappearing Up One's Own

You know the blogosphere has gotten too self-referential and insular when even the Washington Post comments on it. And she's only talking about literary blogs; I think the problem is even more endemic with politically-oriented ones. Come on, folks, we're sooo way better than this. Can't we just have, like, an "ignore the right-wing bloggers who annoy us and stop giving them more publicity by bitching about their posts" moratorium for maybe a week? Via Avedon Carol, who also passes along the frightening news, via the Daily Kos, that that stupid Poindexter-led Policy Analysis Market (you know, essentially betting on terror) is set to quietly open for trading in March 2004 after all!
