Today's poll:

Everyone has a blog these days. There are liberal blogs, conservative blogs, country music blogs, Darth Vader blogs, even blogs about blogs. Bloggers are the pamphleteers* of the 21st century. What's your opinion of blogs and blogging?

And remember, this is for posterity, so please, be honest.

*Back in revolutionary days and before, patriots and activists would circulate their thoughts and ideas through cheaply-produced pamphlets. Perhaps the best example of this was Thomas Payne's Common Sense, which carried powerful ideas of independence throughout the colonies. These days, pamphlets have lost much of their charm, and are now used mostly for advertising political lunatics, take-out menus and remedies for irritable bowel syndrome.

Can a blog about irritable bowel syndrome be far behind?

No pun intended.
