Want a break from tech? Try Joel Achenbach's blog

Posted by: Stephen Baker on November 02

Joel Achenbach, who writes a very humorous and insightful blog at The Washington Post, continues to attract loads of readers. In yesterday’s post about dogs’ instinct to paw after they pee, he harvested 289 comments. People live on his site. Check out the writing in today’s post:

They will have to stay there — Democrats and Republicans alike — until they apologize for being pompous and verbose. We will feed them under the door, and see how they like a flat diet of pancakes and flounder.
