We all have our passions... and side-hobbies to those passions
Longtime readers of danieldrezner.com the Turkmenbashi of the Blogosphere know that your humble omniscient, omnipresent, provider-of-all-that-is-good-and-true blogger is a fan of the Boston Red Sox.
However, that also prompts the occasional side-hobby to fuel that passion. For me, that now includes egging Seth Mnookin on anytime I read something that contradicts Mnookin's excellent reportage in Feeding The Monster.
[Er... does Scott Boras really fit in with the other totalitarian dictators you're blogging about today?--ed] How dare you try to edit the Turkmenbashi of the Blogosphere!!

Shouldn't that be "Blogmenbashi"? I mean, that's a pithier phrase, and without the last letter could be used to name the next bloggers' conference you attend. It would probably get you involved in a time-consuming discussion over whether the appropriate phrase isn't really "Blogpersonbashi," which is admittedly a potential drawback. I'm just trying to lay out all the options.

Hey Dan, I wouldn't aspire to be the new Turkenmanbshi if I were you. You'll face major dissent from the citizens of Dreznerville, the blog,and the U., and not to mention, you'll have to have a couple of statues erected of your image, and that costs big bucks. Just keep on being your dear self. By the way, I think you got onto this whole dictators thing through my flickr group, credit where it's due please Dictators.
