Andrew Sullivan's essay in the Atlantic, "Why I Blog," is interesting enough for bloggers -- and mild enough for their grandmas, as evidenced by his lede: "The word blog is a conflation of two words: Web and log. It contains in its four letters a concise and accurate self-description: it is a... [FishBowlLA]
