"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?"

BLOGOSCOPY


From today's Denver Post: (Headline: HOFFMAN DENOUNCES BLOGS)

[Former University of Colorado president Betsy Hoffman] also said she wished she would have assigned one of her staffers to read political blogs every day, as she does now.

One of the first mentions of [Ward] Churchill's essay appeared on a blog called "little green footballs" after the professor was invited to speak at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. Within 10 minutes, people were calling Gov. Bill Owens and asking him to tell Hoffman to fire Churchill, she said.
