For the record

Lambert at Corrente is the author of "Chutzpah on race from Mr. Hopey." Maybe James Wolcott will update his article giving credit where credit is due.

I also don't think of lambert as a cynic. Delightfully sarcastic, yes, as is Wolcott, one of my favorite writers. Funny un-ha-ha that JW didn't notice the satire since he can certainly dish it up like "flaming shish kebabs." One other aside to Wolcott's column: he failed to mention the insidious misogyny of the A-List bloggers who propagated the WWTSBQ rift in the 'sphere. I blame the omission on that nagging shoulder hoverer called word count. The subject could consume an entire VF edition if treated fairly sans girlish soft porn on the cover.

I attempt to acknowledge bloggers who coin clever terms such as "The Precious" by Anglachel.

And moi minted the Orange Sippy Cup™ for that blog also known as the Orange Satan (don't know the author of the latter.)

If I use a blogerrific term without giving credit to the authoring blogger--and you know who originated it--just email me or leave a comment. I will gladly recognize the blogger with a special credit line.

Kiss, kiss.
