Ranking Bloggers
As if we needed another ranking system, along comes this website, which has categorized bloggers into an A-list, B-list, and C-list. For example, Eugene Volokh of the Volokh Conspiracy is on the B-list. Other bloggers on the VC don't even make any list (sorry Orin). And nobody from PrawfsBlawg . . . outrageous! I searched in vain for some kind of criteria for these lists, but there appears to be none. The whole thing seems to be a way to drum up interest for a magazine about blogging. Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds) writes: "THIS IS A PARAODY, RIGHT? Please let this be a parody." Glenn Reynolds, FYI, is an A-lister.

The absurdity of a print magazine devoted to bloggers is only beginning to sink in ....
Perhaps this is an odd reflection of our current societal trend to create the meta-level analysis of every phenomenon occurring that could be called celebrity. Blogs are newsworthy, therefor we must deconstruct them in a cult of personality in the print (MSM) media available.
Okay. That was random musings.

Kate,
Sounds like a good topic for a list of rankings: "The top 10 dumbest ranking lists."

Top X lists are dumb, but that list must be the dumbest.
