I also have a blog about copywriting. It's here.
This made me laugh
James Walcott:
Joe Lieberman. We saw what a lethargic, uninspired veep candidate he was in 2000 and he hasn't exactly picked up speed with age. His Joementum has pretty much come to a dead halt. Together on stage, he and McCain would look like a gay Metamucil ad.

If you start a blog
Don't give it a title that includes the word "ramblings".
This doesn't apply to the venerable Rambler.

They should just rename it Indie Idol and have done with it
IT SEEMS TO ME that if your audition number is a passable imitation of Beyoncé, they will tell you you're an "imitator" and to "learn to sing in your own voice". BUT if you strap on a guitar and warble one of your own shitty songs in a collage of faux-naive Missy Higgins-style indie-folk affectations, you thereby qualify as "a truly unique voice", "one of the most amazing talents we've ever had on the show", etc.
P.S. The above thoughts come from watching a mere 5 minutes of the London audition show so take em with a grain of the usual.
P.P.S. LONDON AUDITION SHOW!? WTF?? Is the talent pool in Australia so dry that we must trawl the world for expats?
P.P.P.S. No disrespect meant to guest judges Tina Arena and Darren Hayes obv.

Another kick-arse post from Language Log
Ha ha ha, people have been using the word "disinterested" in the so-called "wrong" sense for longer than they've been using it in the so-called "right" sense. You've no idea how happy that makes me.

I choose to believe they do this on purpose
The Guardian blogs specialise in titling their blog posts with questions that nobody could possible care about the answer to.
Latest example:

Has popcorn had its day?

I am prejudiced
against people on the web who cite Stephen King as their prime (or only) example of a "great writer". And there are a lot of them.
Is this unreasonable of me? Is Stephen King actually a great writer and I'm just too much of a snob to have realised? I mean great on the scale of, say, Joyce or Dostoevsky, because believe me he gets mentioned in the same breath.
