Gummo has his own blog

Gummo Trotsky, the Methuselah of erudite commentary, now has his very own blog.  And he's "come out" under his real name, what's more.  He calls the blog Sardonic Detachment Therapy.  Gummo can be sardonic, but detached?  I think I'll keep calling him Gummo anyway.   I'm a creature of habit.

    Gummo did once have his own blog - and a very good one it was too.

    Quite right. I should have mentioned that.

    Just a note on the title: "Sardonic Detachment Therapy". That was a tag I used to use at Potemkin to label posts that I wrote where I was trying to achieve outrage management by putting enough distance between me and the topic to treat it sardonically. And "detached" isn't the same as "indifferent" or "non-partisan".

    Oh and thanks for the traffic, Ken. I think. It's spiked remarkably since you posted this link. Now I'm really in it ...
