This is why I so enjoy reading Joel Achenbach. Sure, this piece is funny enough to propel milk, in reverse, through my nasal passages. But it's the underlying message that gets me. Read it and enjoy the journey, then visit his blog, Achenblog, for more fun from a master of the pen.

Hi!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I enjoyed the article. I have many daily reads..
Hi Carmi, that was indeed a terrific article. Before I read it, I was thinking of some of my favourite online reads, but I don't think any of them are in the same class.
(BTW many thanks for your helpful comment on Real E Fun - much appreciated.)
Thanks for stopping by my place and thanks for the compliments :)
have a great day ...
That is a great article!
Hi, via Michele, of course.
Hi there, via Michele's. I love to read Master Yoda's Blog. It cracks me up on almost a daily basis. Very witty.
hey there!
came via michele's but i was on my way here anyway to thank you for the nice comment you left...
i LOVED the article. i get what he said about "you cannot teach them how to become a writer"... that's what frustrated me with my writing classes back in college 'coz it stifled me. great advice in the end of the article. must remember that one!
I like reading "News of the Weird" every week. There are some real idiots out there. Also, The Darwin Awards are pretty amusing!
Michele sent me!
I have a handful of must-reads, but the best is Wilkeworld, http://wilkeworld.blogspot.com/
He's got great wit and humor, and the 'notes' are rather short and sweet.
Due to time constarints the only daily Must Read is my wife's site, Mommy Matters. If it weren't for her blog we'd never talk.
Thanks for coming by earlier
Great article and funny too. I liked the way he summarized and I learned that college is more expensive than I even thought. I used to read Truthout and William Rivers Pit's blog and Keith Obberman's regularly and have written numerous political commentaries. But the election burned me out and left me disgusted, so I started a blog to keep my mind off it all. Do you know about Dan Gilmor's blog? (michele sent me.)
I like your blog. I'll be back and Michele says hi.
does about a million random blogs count? ;)
