Thanks for the link.

Check out how the "Today's Blogs" column in Slate quotes me, but fails to link.

UPDATE: The Slate folks noticed this post and added a link and emailed me about it. I wrote back saying they also quoted Glenn Reynolds without linking and called the Swift Report a "conservative blog" when it's a satire, and they've responded with the appropriate link and correction.

Also, right above you they link to "Conservative blog The Swift Report" as opposed to "The Swift Report, A Satire Site".

That should've been an easy catch, the front page has stories like:
Bush Blasts Homosexual Energy Agenda
New Poll: Americans Warming to Theocracy
Georgia University to Eliminate Geology Department

Amazing! You'd think a column purporting to convey expertise about blogs would be more on the stick!

Ha! I was quoted in that article as well (Phonograph) and they did link to me. The fact that this blog-compiler is actually linking to my site proves exactly how not-on-the-stick he is.

And Instapundit was also quoted but not linked. How can Slate be purporting to follow blogs and be doing it so incompetently?

Slate referred to "...the allegedly liberal news media..."

What next, "...the allegedly round Earth..."?

Some people will deny anything.
