My side of the blogosphere seems to attract assholes, or at least create an environment that allows their Inner Asshole to bloom.

UPDATE: The above reference was originally intended to note the nasty, over-the-top reaction by certain bloggers to the criticism from Brendan Nyhan, and not any sort of reference to the underlying post, which concerned an alleged suicide by an airlines ticket counter who gave Mohammed Atta his boarding pass on 9/11. But it now appears that story is an urban legend as well. Another triumph for the blogosphere.
