Has the grande damme of them all (I’m sure she appreciates that, especially since I don’t fall under any of the three groups of people in her post) had the only site she did update on a semi-regular basis permanently removed from the Blogosphere? It was the great mystery of the day (it is only Monday for Mel’s sake!) … for a good 20-30 minutes. Apparently, this was just some big conspiracy hoax rumor like Scott Baio’s death. Of course, this one I’m happy to hear is (as of today … who knows about tomorrow) not true. During her days editing Gawker, and again now at The Kicker (of course, they are still experiencing “technical difficulties”), I would chuckle and guffaw enough to sigh, “No, I’ll never write one of these. What’s the point?”
Should The Kicker, in fact, drift off into the west with Frodo, she could do worse than be eulogized by TMFTML, Gothamist and her Gawker successor.
