The Columnist Manifesto

While I was haranguing that journalist panel about corporate penetration of the blogging world, and wishing that I could somehow take those guys down a peg for their overly narrow conception of what a blog is, Althouse was haranguing a conference of law professors at Harvard on those very topics.

She submitted a paper for the conference which deftly takes all-law-all-the-time bloggers down a peg. Althouse has a clear vision of the blog form and has resisted all kinds of pressure to turn her blog into just another boring legal periodical.

Blawgs* ... Yuck!
