Faux PoliBlog Update VI
The The Seattle Times has changed their blog’s name to “Behind the Curtain.” Here’s their post announcing such:
Worried we’re a threat to his brand, the Poliblog in Alabama has asked we change our name.
So we are.
Behind the Curtain.
Is it just me, or is that a bit snippy (not to mention a rather incomplete rendition of the situation)?
Further, I am tired of being referred to as “the Poliblog in Alabama”.

Not just you - it definitely sounds a wee bit snippy. They’re probably annoyed at the slight inconvenience of having to expend a few brain cells to come up with the new name.

They are snippy because they checked with Legal and found they had no option.
It’s not worth expending the brain cells on them at this point.

I think you need to emphasize ‘few’.

Come on Dr. Taylor, do as John Kerry *just* said: Let’s respect one another.
Besides, the “Behind the Curtain” in Hollywood will jump on them next for ripping off the Wizard of Oz.
Got a great pic of Kerry tonight on the blog …

Doesn’t really sound snippy to me.
