Has everyone in the blogosphere gone stark raving nuts? Maybe it's the August heat. Perhaps it's because The Manolo is on hiatus (his shoes and his wit calm the nerves of the Baldilocks; perhaps it does that for others).
Who knows?
I just know that the there's a lot of screaming-banshee vintage vitriol out there right now; more than usual. Perhaps there's a more cynical answer: the vitriol is good for links and hits.
Can't argue with that.
It's awful, Juliette, and getting worse.

Fran,
It's more like feeling one gets when watching a freak show; disgust is a better word.

Ugh, I know what you mean, it's the worst I've seen since Terri Schiavo.
Disgust is exactly it.

Hm. I think it's an epidemic. I hope it eases up now that you-know-who has left Texas.

Are you talking about Cindy S., or is it a broader complaint?
