Earlier on, your humble correspondent swore a vow to refrain from the discussion of two large things making their way around the World Wide Web from celebrity culture. One involved someone's recorded romp, and another the continuing legal saga of a celebrity whose name will not be mentioned. This policy remains in effect, and it will not be revisited or reconsidered. Unlike Roe v. Wade, it is settled law. (Take that, Patrick Leahy!)

That being said, your correspondent also sees much merit in Comrade Commissar's suggestions for the blogosphere, excerpted in relevant part below:

Commissar does not mean to reject a comrade's request. Suppose you get email from Comrade, "Hey I wrote interesting post." He wants you to link to it. Here's rule: You link to it.

Comrade Commissar, in his infinite benevolence, has offered me an opportunity to comply with his dictum, and now we do, much belated.

Fisk Does никогда-land is the post, and if you've got past those happy Christmas feelings and want to hear about some nasty-side effects to a nasty British journalist, from a sarcastic viewpoint, visit it.

(Journalistic integrity requires me to note that the real story is here, and basic human decency requires me to say that I'm glad nobody was killed. At the same time, one has to note the oddity of Mr. Fisk's response in that he understood the actions taken against him. That may be the kind of man who, when confronted with a criminal, wants to know what he did wrong and how he can be of assistance to the poor unloved criminal. That is, of course, the wrong response. Ideally, one would reply as Anavel Gato does in one of the closing episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory to something like this: "DIE!")

NOTE: This post is yet another continuing victim of me forgetting to change the 'Draft' radio button to 'Publish'. I'm too picky to go and change the default setting, because I usually keep a post or two in the hopper and prefer them to be floating about without publishing. This is common at TCP, and I trust all will work around it.
