A devastating dissection by Althouse. I was reading some blog on the LA Times whining about the death of the industry, internet, everyone has a blog these days, blah blah blah. I would post it here to contrast with Althouse's takedown of this writer, but I can't find the article. And I liked everywhere in the LA Times obituary section.
