Check it out, it&#8217;s the July 8th entry.  Of course I immediately narcissistically pondered myself, wondering whether I was a narcissist or a blogger&#8230; but decided that was just a stupid waste of energy after seeing today&#8217;s entry on <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolblogs.com\/dawn\/\">Dawn&#8217;s sparklin weblog<\/a>.  Forget worrying (narcissistically) about yourself: you want something to worry about, look at the website of Ann Coulter, right-wing pundit and author, in particular the <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anncoulter.org\/images.html\">pages she has devoted to images of herself<\/a>.   She scares me a lot more than any teenage wiccan or crystal peddlar ever could.    Narcissism isn&#8217;t restricted to New Agers: Ann Coulter&#8217;s one-woman right-wing rodeo makes sure that fans &#8212; actual and especially potential &#8212; will get narcissistically sucked in by this &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t you love to be her&#8221; blonde.    While Ann Coulter is advocating for Joe McCarthy, consider this article in <em>The Toronto Star<\/em> (via the <em>Washington Post<\/em>) about <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/NASApp\/cs\/ContentServer?pagename=thestar\/Layout\/Article_Type1&amp;c=Article&amp;cid=1057702211653&amp;call_pageid=968332188492&amp;col=968793972154\">Sean Gorman&#8217;s PhD dissertation<\/a>.  Mr. Gorman wrote a &#8220;dull,&#8221; &#8220;tedious and unimportant&#8221; dissertation about the information highway(s) and the nerve links connecting businesses.  After 9\/11, however, it turned into the kind of dynamite that has officialdom blowing to the 1930s:  Richard Clarke, who lately was the White House cyber-terrorism chief, said of Gorman that &#8220;[he] should turn it in to his professor, get his grade &#8212; and then they both should burn it.&#8221;  Oh yeah, a great big pile of burning books.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"144\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/cyber.law.harvard.edu\/blogs\/static\/yulelog\/autodafe.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Locke, whose blog Rageboy I&#8217;ve lurked around recently, yesterday posted a great in-your-face entry contrasting and comparing New Age Narcissists to Old Aged Bloggers.
