Fanblog: The Return

In a recent post I noted the appearance and disappearance of Politi-Psychotics, a blog by Karen Street (see sidebar under "Testimonials") loosely dedicated to undermining my sublime bloviations.

The blog is back under the same name, but with a wisely decreased emphasis on debunking my undebunkable bunkum.  Just kidding about the "bunkum" part--I just could help typing it with "debunking" and "undebunkable" in such proximity.  The subtitle now reads "Because in politics, the road to Truth can be an obstacle course!"

Street took to heart my criticisms of the post formatting:
I do agree on Bryan's criticism of the formatting with regard to the margins.  The text editor does not publish the same as it looks in the "compose" stage.
As it turned out, Street made her blog public before she intended, which accounted perhaps entirely for the appearance of the original subtitle and at least in part for the ungainly overall appearance.  Unfortunately the arguments are just as bad as ever. 

That Street is the author of the blog is now confirmed beyond all reasonable doubt.  For example, this author stamp from before the time Street settled on "PolitiFact Commenter" as her blogging nom de plume:
This may indicate a pattern in Bryan’s bias as well!

Hat tip to Google cache for catching that one.

Street was a tad surprised that I found her blog.  That apparently means that she has not yet explored the use of tools such as StatCounter.    No charge for the tip.
