Syndicated columnist Amy Alkon does those things that the rest of us just think about doing--and she wants credit for that. In today's Wall Street Journal, she's the nameless blogger who called up and called out a loud-mouthed cell phone abuser, then posted about the incident on her blog. Jennifer Saranow, who wrote the piece, must have thought she was protecting Alkon's privacy by not naming her as the blog-slapper, after hours of interviewing her. Alkon's not too keen on being relegated to background.

Who's ever heard of a shy and retiring redhead?
