The thing about so many news Web sites now attaching comment engines to most of their articles (what James Lileks accurately described as "a slime trail of ignorant comments), I feel far less ambition to conduct the kind of fiskings I so enjoyed in years past.
I mean, sure, I could still take Nick Coleman's mind-drool columns behind the literary woodshed and administer the old smackdowns of yesterday, but then I read a comment that basically says "Nick you're an idiot who can't write," and I think "You know, that sums it up perfectly. I have nothing to add."
The Internet has evolved and passed me by, I fear. Alas.
