Earlier today, I had nearly resolved to stop reading Lileks, because he's good -- too good, his style is leaking into my head and making me want to imitate him, with predictably bad results.

But I can't stop, because of sparkling gems in the precious prosework like this:

There�s an interesting case to be made for the effect of these mass-market stores, but it�s not going to be made by these hysterical gibbons flinging BS from the think-tank ramparts.

Bleat of 6/23

Now I'm giggling, thinking I want little poo-flinging gibbon action figures to perch on my cube wall!

Boss, I want more links up above, so I don't have to hand-carve my html some more... No? Oh well. The steel-city crony that journals the least in the upcoming week will probably get bumped for The Bleat. Social Darwinism. Very Iron-Era. "Hell with the lid off," as Dickens said.
