I’ve had people ask me “why didn’t\u00a0 you write about [a blog] as part of your “Around the MOB” series?\u00a0 Is there some sort of implied slam against [the blog I didn’t write about]?”<\/p>\n
Of course not.<\/p>\n
The point of the series is to bring a little exposure to some of the blogs in the MOB that might get a little less traffic.\u00a0 Blogging can be a very lonely hobby; it’s one of the reasons we started the MOB in the first place, to bring a little social life to a monastically-introverted pastime; we are not a political organization, but rather a purely social one.<\/p>\n
Of course, some of the MOB blogs get all the recognition they need, and need no introduction.\u00a0 So I skipped (to pick the first example) Anti-Strib because, let’s face it, they’re big<\/em>.\u00a0 Everyone in the Twin Cities who reads blogs knows about Anti-Strib<\/em>.\u00a0 They need no introduction.<\/p>\n So if you’re looking for pithy little insights on Powerline, Lileks, Fraters Libertas or for that matter Anti-Strib, you’ll be waiting a bit.\u00a0 Most of you read them all already – indeed, my referral logs show that a lot of people stop by Shot In The Dark after reading one or the other of them.<\/p>\n So write your own pithy insights about them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve had people ask me “why didn’t\u00a0 you write about [a blog] as part of your “Around the MOB” series?\u00a0 Is there some sort of implied slam against [the blog I didn’t write about]?” Of course not.
