I've been a daily reader of James Lileks for years. While he's very entertaining, and I'm a big fan despite the fact that he thinks Hugh Hewitt is the bees knees, most days you can replace his bleat with a Shorter James Lileks:

"It has been a long Monday yet again. Took the dog to school, walked the kid. Hopefully you forgot when I said yesterday that something Very Interesting happened, and that I would tell you about it today, because I won't. And boy howdy do I wish I still lived in Fargo. Or Arizona. Same thing. Really. Anyways, sorry for the length of the bleat, I have nine columns the length of War an Peace to write, so it's a short one today: (Insert three thousand words about ordering bad chinese food here).
