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?"

UD likes this bit of prose from one reader. It's about people like UD, who, although decades removed from their liberal arts college experience, "relive it on screened-in porches years later when they find an old joint pressed into a copy of The Stranger, so they toke it even though it's stale and they remember a little bit but then go to bed and wake up just the same as they were the day before."
