On a lighter note:
Patio Pundit puts his finger on what's been bugging me about the new Slate-supercharged Kausfiles:
"...is it me or does it suck now? Not the kausfiles content, that's smoking. But it doesn't feel right. There's no archives, no link list. I understand that there are some tradeoffs "working for the man." But they don't even give Mickey that day tab thingamajiggy."
Is this where we're supposed to start a petition or something?
"Free Mickey's Prose! "
"What do we want?"
"PERMALINKS!"
"When do we want 'em?"
"NOW!"
