Dull? You wound us! ;-) How can a place possibly be considered "dull" when it attracts the likes of luminaries such as you, Anon Ally? I ask you! You have to reconsider these things, and not underrate yourself in that way.

Look, we all have ways of amusing ourselves, right? Some obsess about "Guest" postings. Some about sexism. Some about George Bush. Some about whether Bob Dylan "stole" the lyrics to some song he recorded. Some, like you, prefer character assassination. (I've met Susan's husband, and he didn't strike me as "conservative".) It's endless. This place caters to every form of dysfunction and compunction, which makes it anything but dull, and that's why YOU keep coming back!

Kirsten's articles ARE interesting. No question about it. They're also very political in some respects, and that makes for much to chew on, doesn't it?
