The Joho Defense
I've had ocassion twice in the last 24 hours to cite, yet again, the wonderful "Joho Defense" (aka the Weinberger Waiver).
In part: "No, I'm not keeping up with your blog. I would like to. I really would. I like it and I like you. But we're now well past the point where any of us can keep up with all the blogs worth reading from the people worth keeping up with. Even with an aggregator. I just can't do it any more..."
Strikes me this admirable and entirely reasonable disclaimer deserves to be as enshrined in the canons of neoblogism as the "Twinkie Defense" is in the annals and precedents of U.S. case law.
Have you used your Weinberger Waiver today?
