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?"

Valedictory for Ms. V


Not Writing But Sleeping

Nobody heard her, the V. girl,
But still she lay weeping:
I was much less alert than I thought
And not writing but sleeping.

Poor chick, she always loved lifting
And now she's caught
The publisher pulled her book
And it can’t be bought.

Oh, no no no, I was too fake always
(Still the hyped one lay weeping)
I’ve been basically bogus all my life
And not writing but sleeping.
