Blog echo camber at its best
No More Mister Nice Blog has an excellent take on blogs talking about blogs talking about blogs.
Here’s Atrios complaining about Mark Kleiman complaining about Atrios favorably linking to Digby complaining about Wonkette complaining about Peter Daou complaining about the media refusing to proclaim that Stephen Colbert was funny at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Is there an echo in here?
(Found on the Daou Report.)

(Found on kottke.)

I’ll add “bad cryptography” to that.
As Kevin Sylvester said the other morning: “I’ve read Hardy Boy mysteries with better codes.”
