Whitmire Not Very Witty
I was driving to work this morning listening to Brad and Britt on WZTK. They were discussing words and phrases that need to be retired to misuse or overuse, and they finally got to the word blog.
I know some people are already tired of the word, and I have a few conservative friends who are actually repelled by the thought of blogs - until I remind them what bloggers did to Dan Rather. Then they think blogs are a good thing.
Britt Whitmire described bloggers as "People in pajamas typing in..." Maybe it was simply another failed attempt at humor, but it struck me as an uninformed comment, unfortunate for a show that is supposed to inform its audience.
