Well, not exactly, but they’re sure on a run of taunting the online-obsessed. First it was their cruel and mean April Fool’s blog entry, then yesterday they took a stance against the Ricky Henderson-esque use in the blogging world of “This Blogger” as a first-person pronoun.
“This blogger.”
Sometimes, it’s “This blog.” Sometimes, it’s the name of the blog.
God created a certain number of personal pronouns. It’s an abomination against The Creator and all mankind to go against it. It’s unnatural. What’s next, are you going to have sex with animals?
As someone who prefers to type things like “we here at DC Metblogs,” I’m 100% with you, Nick. Preach on, brother! Fight the powerblogger!

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
