This town needs an enema

Most of the writing I see online is, quite simply, bad. And online blogs are probably the worst offenders of the lot, as any Joe Shmoe with an email address can set up his own online journal. I’ve gotten numb to the consistently bad writing I come across on the web. And then? Today?I see the latest entry on dooce.com:

I use the term semi-constipated very seriously because I would not call what Jon is going through constipation. I normally wouldnít even call it semi-constipation BECAUSE HE IS POOPING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, but he says heís in pain and heís allowed to have pain. So Iíll grant him semi-constipation. I will not grant him full-blown constipation, not until he goes at least five days, and then when he passes it he has to come show me what it looks like because if it looks like it didnít hurt then it doesnít count.

Today’s entry had me in Hysterics! The author (Heather Armstrong) uses all caps like Salinger uses italics. I fell for this blog a while ago (wow – a month ago to be exact), and it’s entries like this that keep me laughing and coming back for more. She’s a great writer, and someone you should get to know if you aren’t familiar with her site.
