Now Where Will They Go?

155 words.

I’m sure everyone knows by now that BlogNetNews has a new look. If you look up in the corner you’ll find something rather ironic. Maybe it was there before but I just noticed it today.

Recall that a certain segment of Virginia conservative bloggers proudly proclaim to have “shut down” Waldo’s political aggregator because of its supposedly hidden liberal bias (apparently objecting to terrorist propaganda is a liberal position — who knew?). Said bloggers all removed themselves from Waldo’s aggregator in protest and flocked to BlogNetNews, the “neutral” aggregator. Well, now when you look up in the corner of BlogNetNews what do you see? “State Editor: Vivian J. Paige.” That means Liberal Democrat Vivian J. Paige is the editor of the conservative Republican bloggers’ favorite neutral aggregator. Too funny.

P.S. Don’t misunderstand me: I think Vivian is an excellent choice for an editor of any site. I just find the irony in this case hilarious.
