UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

ANOTHER UD SATIRE
COMES BACK TO BITE
HER IN THE ASS



What is it with people? Or Wikipedias? In one of UD's many satirical posts, she pretended to be a stupid excitable American tabloid and called Yale University "hyperprestigious." Now look:



"Although the school is referred to as "hyper-prestigious" by college English professor and blogger [2004/02/prof-made-her-puke-womens-libber.html Margaret Soltan], many Wikipeidians feel that this is an arbitrary judgement without factual merit."



Oh, without factual merit, eh? How dare you...
