Why Stop At Socrates?

It's not enough that blogs are going to revolutionize journalism.

Why stop there, when the importance and impact of blogs can reach new heights of exaggeration:

Bloggers, Reynolds chief among them, are Socrates' heirs.

Bloggers as heirs of Socrates, eh? I wonder if that wouldn't be enough to give Leo Strauss a heart attack. But he's already dead.

I'm ready to take it a step further, though. Maybe Blogs can be a replacement for the Bible. And there can be a few bloggers who act as the Papal authority (ya know -- the A-Listers). Not sure who can be the God of Bloggers (maybe Ev? He produced the "tool" after all -- or would that make him Mary? I'm weak on theology), but that can all be sorted.

Just for the sake of being ridiculous.
