  Some People Cross-Dress
I cross-post.

Wrote a couple things for the Huffington Post this morning, which you should be able to find here.

That site is getting better, but a lot of it is pompous, boring, and depressing. Come on, guys, lighten up! It's a blog, not your platform to save the world.

Also, you can tell those folks are novice posters; they don't really seem to understand the concept of the hyper-link. Actually, this deficit strikes me as telling symbolism. The point of a hyper-link is to reference some other authority, something that, Lilliputian-like, you are referencing, and occasionally trying to topple.

Problem is, a lot of the celebrities aren't used to deferring to anyone else. Why would they hyper-link—i.e., cite a higher authority—when they're used to everyone else deferring to them?

Also, I'm not quite sure who Greg Gutfeld is, but Greg—when your mother told you that you're funny, she was only being nice.
