You may as well start the hazing rituals now so Matt Zeitlin won't cry foul once he gets called up to the majors.
I'm disappointed they didn't go with the snappier "blogfather".
Ringleader-OF-SORTS, Matt. Don't brag.
$30k/year? That's only slightly more than science grad students make and less than postdocs.
Congratulations.
Make sure you get some sex with that power Matt.
Mr. Klein says the ascent of the D.C. blog is helping young writers overcome the "Ivy League cabal" that dominated Washington political writing.Hmmm.
In this country, you gotta make de blogs first. Then when you get de traffic ... get the trolls, then you get de women.
I see that you are following in the footsteps of Josh Marshall, Kos, and Ana Marie Cox. Policy analysis, partisanship, and anal sex . . .
I refuse to consider bloggers "elite". Call me a hater, I don't care.
Sweet! Bloggers are the new new bohemians.
Matt - how many of the bloggers in your ring smoke? Bonus points if they're cloves.
If Washington, D.C. were "Lord of the Flies," who'd be Jack?
Does Megan feel left out?
It's like a parallel-world high school, where the coolest kids are the ones constantly behind computer screens arguing the finer points of the power relations of Sunni militias.
Indeed -- with an average of 51 blog posts per 100,000 residents -- D.C. ranks as the fourth "bloggiest" city in the U.S., behind Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
What the hell are they blogging about in Pittsburgh??
What the hell are they blogging about in Pittsburgh??
How to avoid ending up blogging on the East Coast ... especially Philadelphia.
If you are the ringleader, doesn't that make your friends a bunch of circus freaks?
"Mr. Klein says the ascent of the D.C. blog is helping young writers overcome the "Ivy League cabal" that dominated Washington political writing."
Indeed.
The meritocracy of the blogosphere is precisely how Ezra managed to usurp you.
"What the hell are they blogging about in Pittsburgh??"
Incontinence remedies.
Regarding the demise of the Ivy League Cabal, it's notable that all of the Atlantic's bloggers are from Harvard, except McArdle, who attended ... UPenn!

Something funny there.
I'm glad we've finally overcome that damn Ivy League cabal.

But I have more readers and make more money. First-mover advantage will live forever!
Until Ezra starts rolling in the TV money. He's a good egg, I'm sure he'll invite to his beach house. :o)

The funniest part is the byline of the person writing a profile on professional bloggers:
