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?"

Hatto Hoax Limerick #2

UD initially tried writing a limerick whose first line ended with Hatto, but she discarded the final product because she ended up having to use too many Italian words.

Jeff solved the Italian problem in this very nice effort:

Some critics extolled unknown Hatto;
Some others caught whiff of a rat-to;
But when an iPod
Revealed she's a fraud,
On a pianist once praised they now shat-to.


(Note that both of our limericks, arrived at separately, end with excrement.)
