Today I continued my long tradition...

...of inserting my foot in my mouth around all-'round nice guy Michael Silence.

I was reading his blog this morning, specifically the bit about "Bloggers vs. MSM, Round 6.23x10^27" taking place in Nash Vegas at the moment, when I reached the supposed quote from Liz Garrigan:

Most bloggers wouldn’t last an hour under the journalistic quality control that a newspaper demands.

Of course I saw red and cracked off my retort immediately:

If I thought my writing was only good enough for a newspaper, I'd slit my wrists.

Then I remembered whose blog I was posting on...

*facepalm*
