Snark Watch

Katherine Kersten, being the only "out" conservative on the Strib's columnist staff, has come in for a lot of snarky, ugly, shallow, probably-envious attacks from a lot of local leftyblogs.

My project for the day: patrol the regional leftyblogs to find the snarkiest, ugliest, most mindlessly ugly response to today's column:

In 2005, who's in the vanguard of the "counterculture," living a truly "alternative lifestyle"? For my money, it's Jim and Nadine Reinhardt of Burnsville.

In this age of families averaging 2.1 children, the Reinhardts have nine youngsters, ranging in age from 18 to 3. This is the first time since the first year of their 19-year marriage that they haven't had a child in diapers.

Two missions for you, should you then gentle reader choose to accept them:
  1. Help me find the ugly, snarky, pointless replies, or
  2. Write the best "parody" leftyblog snark about people like the ones featured in Kersten's column
Carry on.

I may be wrong but I think it was Power Liberal who discovered that if you Google "minnesota's worst writer" you come up with links to Kersten's columns. Snarky? Sure! Ugly and pointless? Hardly any more so than some Nick Coleman fiskfests I've read.

Well Kersten is OUR Nick Coleman, thank you very much and I'd appreciate you not to spoil our fun. Here's one of my favorites from Steve Perry:

"I wonder: Have the conservatives who applauded Kersten's hiring begun to feel a creeping dread that perhaps the fiendish and Machiavellian Red Star has put another one over on them by hiring a conservative columnist whose real purpose is to afford liberals a rare chuckle?"

We were just the ones who discovered she's Lileks in drag.

But don't tell Yecke I said that.
