"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."

"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?"

An Ivan Tribble Christmas















Baby, baby, you got to understand
If I want a do-right colleague
I've got to be a do-right man.

I'm gonna lay another blog
On the fire, baby.
Yeah it’s Christmas time once more.
Gonna lay another blog
On the fire
Keep the bloggers from my door.

Oh I know I've been neglecting you
But baby now's our turn.
Gonna cuddle through the snowy night
And watch the bloggers burn.

Wine, music, candlelight
Plus a little toke,
We’ll sing a song of Christmas
Watch the blogs go up in smoke.

I'm gonna lay another blog
On the fire, baby
Keep the flame up nice and high
Said I'm gonna lay another blog
On the fire, baby
And watch the bloggers die.
