So there was little amusing mini-fracas among some hip DC political bloggers this week, apparently started by this post asking why DC can’t be more like Portland in catering to white people. The writer has already regretted writing it, but not before other DC bloggers took issue with him.
That’s not the point, though. The point is this post, the best of all, about how all the people in this blog-fracas already know each other and hang out offline. Its title: “Why the blogosphere is like being trapped at a cocktail party with the same 50 people forever.”
I commented on that post and was just about the only one who didn’t think Ezra was full of it. The reasoning’s a little confused, but frankly, what is going on in Seattle, Portland, etc, that isn’t going on in DC? Those cities do want a big pool of affluent young people, and it’s only somewhat coincidental that most of those people are white.
At least they are real people fighting with each other instead of bloggers with multiple blogs and commenting persona, all busy making up crap and then congradulating themselves about it.
