How does IlluminatedDonkeyPundit sound? Traversing the blogging world lately has reminded me a lot of Battle Creek, Michigan at the turn of the 20th Century, dramatized recently in the book and movie The Road to Wellville. Dozens of cereal manufacturers found their way to Battle Creek trying to find their fortune in corn flakes, including brothers and bitter rivals John Harvey Kellogg and William Keith Kellogg.
What does this have to do with blogging, you may ask. Well, during the course of my reading today I scanned InstaPundit, QuasiPundit, Muslimpundit, SmarterPundit, HappyFunPundit, and starting today, DailyPundit (formerly The Blogical Suspects).
The Blogical Suspects, an Illuminated Donkey Best Bet, officially changed its name today (though the link won't change until next week), due to a general regret at picking "a pun of painful dimensions" for a name, and just in case The Wall Street Journal should happen to call. Hey, William, I received a semi-respectable media mention that mentioned my silly blog name, so it's an obstacle that can be overcome (though this site does abbreviate to ID as opposed to BS).
