I still get a laugh out of her profile there, where she writes "I read a lot (obviously)." Why is that obvious? Because you're so obviously smart and great? I know one of the conditions of being a high-profile blogger is to be overly-impressed with yourself, but that gal really takes the cake in that department.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-29414792227674768152007-09-20T19:49:00.000-04:002007-09-20T19:49:00.000-04:00mememe:Is that "me meme" or "Me, me, me!"There is ...mememe:<BR/>Is that "me meme" or "Me, me, me!"<BR/>There is a refernce to Ms. McA.'s amazing ability to read 1700 pp. of Stephen King in a weekend in the item immediately below this one.M.

However, for whatever nuisance value we may provide, I do wonder if these posts weren't prompted by something else, like, say, someone from TPM writing to say "Uh, <I>did</I> you read the book? Because you kind of made me look like a jackass, and my boss thinks it would be best if you didn't come back."Adam Eli Clemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779416210584562444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-91890341257222054872007-09-20T18:24:00.000-04:002007-09-20T18:24:00.000-04:00Her Works Cited page would consist of a picture of...<I>Her Works Cited page would consist of a picture of her ass.</I><BR/><BR/>This is hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-64625630040814058922007-09-20T16:22:00.000-04:002007-09-20T16:22:00.000-04:00I recently reviewed a book for the JOURNAL OF AMER...I recently reviewed a book for the JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY. It was about 350 pages. I was given 4 months to complete the review. I took an extra month. The review was 500 words long. <BR/><BR/>That is a pretty standard expectation for an academic review of a book. Undergraduates, and hacks for the ATLANTIC MONTHLY apparently read the equivalent of Cliff Notes and then try to pretend they read the book. And it isn't hard to spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
