Who Cares About Honor?

There are thousands, no millions of sites like this one that you're reading right now. Some are compelete banality, rife with the meanderings of teenage girls. Or men in their 50s who wish they were teenage girls. Some are serious and updated on an hourly basis. Some are just silly and fun and good for wasting time while you're bored at work. I came across an especially interesting blog the other day. It's called Wonkette. A 31-year old self-described "failed-journalist", Ana Marie Cox is a gossip columnist at the heart of Capitol Hill. Her site is very entertaining. While you have people like Matt Drudge (Drudge Report) and the purveyors of Slate Magazine trying hard to be gossips, when in reality, they're serious journalists, Cox is able to go further, because she has nothing to lose. Her site is independantly financed, and not affiliated with any Big Media, so she can do what she wants. She even admits that some of it is made up. She also has an affinity for penis jokes, which I don't quite get, but whatever. Cox admits that she thinks it's more important to be funny than to be accurate. Her site's entertaining as hell, check it out.
