Alright, so I clicked on DK again just like I do every evening at about this time, and -- surprise, surprise -- another one of those Pootie diaries in the recommended area. They seem to be there every day, now.
So I'll bite: What's the big deal with them, and why are they always in the recommended section of a political blog?
On the surface, they seem to be some sort of inside joke for cat lovers; a grouping of kitty pics with some witty one-liners superimposed on them that are meant to make you go, "awww." Or is there more to these things, something deeper, and I'm just too shallow to get it...?
Look, I like cats. And I have to admit, the first time I saw one of these diaries it did make me crack a smile. And the second time. And maybe the third.
But not the forty-ninth time. And certainly not the 237th.
Look I don't mean to insult the Pootie people -- or cat lovers in general, for that matter. But why in the hell are these things taking up space in the recommended section -- Every. Freaking. Day.
The inside joke -- if indeed there there ever was one -- is getting kind of old, already. Or maybe I'm just too shallow to get it.
So what am I missing...?
