I’m Boycotting Hot Air
February 9, 2009
. . . until Ed Morrissey remember that “White House” is two words.
And until he remembers the proper use of title case.
No, really. I’m feeling quite cranky tonight: if we let our standards slip, we’re no better than . . . print!
UPDATE: Morrissey tells me he was talking about Sheldon Whitehouse. So instead of admitting that I was wrong, wrong, wrong, and that I should never read blogs (or at least, never write blog entries) after taking my evening Ambien, I’ll simply double-down on my insistence that AllahP and Ed start writing their headlines in headline style.
Holding my breath is . . . optional.

Somebody needs to get laid…

You could be right; I’ll take that up with the personnel in charge thereof.
Fortunately, I refrain from proofreading the shopping list, so this important resource might even be available!

OK, a few years ago I bought an e-book that had so many errors in it that I had to scan it, desktop publish it to fix the lazy layout and proof it to be able to stand to read it. So I’m all about the “standards must be upheld” thing.
But, um, are you REALLY saying it’s “Senator Sheldon White House” instead of “Senator Sheldon Whitehouse” of Rhode Island? Because the senator’s Web site, http://whitehouse.senate.gov/, says it’s “Whitehouse.”
Oh, and this is perfect! I just clicked back to Whitehouse’s site to see if he’s a Democrat and decided to stop looking when I saw the ACORN banner behind him in the photo he’s using for his site banner.

However, you do have Ed on the title case violation, so you still have sufficient grounds for your boycott.
P.S.
Thanks for the heads-up about Froynlaven. I read his post to my Cuban Diva BFF and we both just howled!
