Why I Love DC (Reason No.2)
September 13th, 2005
There’s a whole world of DC-blog related melodrama that no one really cares about, but occasionally when you dip in to it, you find humorous entries like DC Bachelor’s DCist Sucks. I personally don’t think DCist sucks — I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it, either. And, as many of you faithful readers know, since I run a little site called Life in the District, technically DCist would be competition…if I cared enough to compete. In fact, I admire how far the “-ist” sites have come in the last couple years, considering LitD has been around twice as long and has done half as much. Okay, half might be generous.
That being said, DC Bachelor has a way of reminding us (I’m lumping you all in with me now) of the things we don’t like in this city, or things we don’t like in general, and he does it with that edgy, cynical tone that is the hallmark of postmodern social commentary (yeah, you like that, don’t you). He also posts a lot of crap, but so do we all. That’s the drawback to blogs. Anyway, what I mean is, DC Bachelor is funny, funny stuff, and he (along with the rest of the dysfunctional DC blogosphere) is yet another reason why I love this city.
