Among politiblogs, Ana Marie Cox, above, has long?in cyberterms anyway?reigned as queen. Her bawdy take on Washington made WONKETTE a must read. But with her novel Dog Days out and a big country to shill to, it was time to abdicate. Her successors: Alex Pareene, a sometime guest editor at GAWKER, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney David Lat, who had secretly written the blawg UNDERNEATH THEIR ROBES in the guise of a lusty, law-loving female. Lat quit his government job last month and trumpeted his new gig by blogging, "You can't keep a good...
Before heading to Congress, Republican J.D. Hayworth of Arizona was a sportscaster with a signature home-run call: "It's vapor!"

DATA employees churned out policy papers, while Hatch, Sheridan and Shriver organized intimate, bipartisan dinner parties (sample guest list: Senators Jesse Helms, Patrick Leahy and Orrin Hatch; former World Bank president Jim Wolfensohn; Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers) to cement relationships and encourage the sense that at least on one issue, everyone could break bread. Spouses were invited, and to spice things up, Bono might ask a friend from...
...only interlude from these typographical prestidigitations, Aesop cuts guest Metro’s brief appearance short with a shove. This is his side-show, and collaborators better recognize. That said, Aes is anything but easy to pigeonhole; one of his last montages is an arch constructed entirely from photos of his friends and family...
