"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)

"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?"

Another Impressive Entry From
Slate's Bad Poetry Contest





Our Love is Like a Bowling Ball


Our love
is like a bowling ball

Like a brand new Brunswick Red Zone,

It rolls and rolls down the alley of desire

And rolls and rolls and rolls.


I will keep you out of the gutters, my love

And put my fingers in your holes

Every kiss a strike or at least a spare,

Our future a perfect game.


Our love is like a bowling ball,

Our scores will rise and rise

I shall never step beyond the foul line,

And I will rent your shoes.
