From Tina Brown's WaPo column today [via Jarvis]:

We are in the Eggshell Era, in which everyone has to tiptoe around because there's a world of busybodies out there who are being paid to catch you out...No matter who you are, someone is ready and willing to rat you out. Even the rats themselves have to look over their shoulders, because some smaller rat is always waiting in the wings. Bloggers are the new Stasi.

Tina's column has been very blog-heavy as of late. We'd take it personally, but, well...we kind of like being called the "new Stasi."
(If that rat analogy holds true, we assume it means Tina's the bigger rat and we're the smaller rats.)
