National Bloggerhood Week

Meryl gets in a musical mood over the NYT blogger rivalry article. Hmmm, maybe I can help here...

National Bloggerhood Week, with sincere apologies to Tom Lehrer

Oh, the war blogs hate the tech blogs
And the tech blogs hate the war blogs
To hate all but
Those just like your blogs
Is every blogger's goal

But during National Bloggerhood Week
National Bloggerhood Week
Dave Winer and Glenn Reynolds are dancing cheek to cheek
It's fun to eulogize
The bloggers you despise
As long as you don't put 'em on your blog-roll

Oh, Ted Frank hates Cameron Barrett
And Jason Kottke hates Eric Olsen
Hating those blogs
Is really wholesome
It's as American as apple pie

But during National Bloggerhood Week
National Bloggerhood Week
Scripters love the pundits cause it's really chic
Step up and give a link
To those who really stink
You can tolerate them if you try

Oh, the old school hates the new kids
And the new kids hate the old school
And the techies hate the newbies
And everybody hates Ted Rall

But during National Bloggerhood Week
National Bloggerhood Week
It's National-We're-All-Just-Web-Loggers Week
Be nice to bloggers who
Are inferior to you
It's only for a week so have no fear
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!
