Ooh, look, Joan Walsh has discovered blogging!

She's all excited about her new blog, which conveniently links right from Salon's front page.

From one post:

But we know some blogs are good, and my goal is to make sure mine is one of them. For now, blogs are a tool. When we invent a better tool, they'll be eclipsed. Of course they're perfect for Web publishing, where everything we do is a first draft; they're perfect for our sped-up news cycle as well...

Later, in the same post:

Maybe most interesting, blogs foster a two-way conversation that I'm looking forward to, and I trust our amazing readers to do their part.

Anyone see any irony here? Now that they've killed the Salon blogs, Joanie discovers how worthwhile and useful blogging can be.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

In unrelated news, our old friend Nancy, who ran Now You Listen Here, has moved her blog here.

She's even got a picture of the Alien up, for your oohing and aahing pleasure.
