*sigh* The sad thing is, I was literally visiting AlterNet to make a donation just now — they do great work — when I stumbled and fell face-first into this foolishness. What is it about San Franciscans that makes them so unutterably self-absorbed and so entirely uninteresting at it? Guess New Yorkers just make it look too easy to do it well; the provinces get ideas… Meanwhile, gonna hold off on the donation until the queasiness dies off.
