Psst...I Think He's Talking To You

Matt Rosenberg's piece at NRO on Bill Cosby's remarks and the blogosphere includes this observation:

Enter the humble blogger. True, the percentage of Internet users who report they view blogs regularly is still low. But even then, we're talking some 31 million regular blog viewers. Admittedly, some blogs are about knitting, snow-boarding, or origami. Others are authored by navel-gazing college students, polyamorists, vegan anarchists, or self-declared alcoholics detailing each wretched night's debauch. But watch out for many of the rest. Their reach grows.

I believe that some of the blogs I frequent resemble those remarks:

Your home for diets, cooking, roasting your own coffee beans, and knitting.

This dude is gnarly on the half pipe.

Origami is a breeze for this Renaissance man.

The college boy intently focused on his navel.

I don't know if polymorist is entirely accurate, but he has had an awful lot of dates in the last few years.

The vegan anarchist is fairly easy to identify.

But by far the most obvious is the self-declared alcoholics detailing each wretched night's debauch. Are you guys ever going to grow up and get serious about life?
