We Are Talking About A Whole New Paradigm Here Folks

There has been a lot of talk about what direction the blogosphere will take post-election. What topics de jour will dominate the news cycle? What will be the next hot meme that catches on?

The only input I can offer is to expect the unexpected. When you've got Scott "The Big Trunk" Johnson at Power Line writing about the the death of ODB (Ol' Dirty Bastard) and Ghostface Killa, all bets are off.

SAINT PAUL ADDS: It's officially a meme. The Nihilist in Golf Pants provides more analysis on the implications of the death of Old Dirty Bastard. Excerpt:

From what I've seen of ODB, it's hard to tell if he was dangerous to others or just himself. Certainly, music lovers of the world will miss his slurred, nonsensical, yet hyper rapping. A baker's dozen or more kids will miss their daddy, although most would probably have still missed him if he was still alive. Numerous ho's will miss their man. On the other hand, security officers can breathe a bit safer and taxpayers will have to shell out a bit less on food stamps. All in all, Ol' Dirty Bastard is far more deserving of a kind eulogy than Yasser Arafat.
