ann arbor is overrated.

A Current columnist describes the experience of cleaning houses in Ann Arbor (remember Ann Arbor? A little town in Michigan, just like Saginaw and Grand Rapids, that we sometimes write stuff about at this here weblog?) “I’m not a happy camper,” her boss, a Jordache-wearing martinet declares. “You’re not dusting my U-M knickknacks well enough.”

Oh yeah, and there’s a Josh Steichmann piece about blogs in the issue too, where we’re quoted making some kind of specious comparison between blogging and that old chestnut about everyone who listened to the Velvet Underground starting their own band. Also appearing in the story were Goodspeed, blasting the news judgment of the Daily; George Hotelling, discussing narrowcasting; and Steven Cherry, issuing a general call for bloggers to “get off their ass and do something.”
