Cox Blocked

Ana Marie Cox, hot off of her SXSW keynote, was denied entry into the Sidebar while attempting to attend her own party. Austinist would like to apologize to Ana Marie for any distress our fine city has caused her, but everyone knows you don't go down to Sixth Street without an ID.

(Ms. Cox wants us to note that she did eventually get in.)

Who the fuck is Ana Marie Cox? and who gives a flying fuck. Did you know that America is surrounded by other continents?

As much as we love Ana Marie (after all, she was a Cal Berkeley grad student), we've managed to piss her off two out of two times.

Still, we did get a chance to overhear that she "really loves writing dialogue," and that she's "about eighty pages" into her "novel."

Make that three out of three.

Wonkette is hot. I'm a God fearing, gun toting, family values loving Republican--and I can't get enough of her! All the detractors are just plain jealous.

Cox's remark at her sxsw presentation, that blogging is not journalism, because blogging does commentary on reporting instead of doing reporting itself, has got to be one of the most egomaniacal remarks I've heard come from the blogsphere in quite some time.

Apparently "wonkette" is under some sort of delusion that her blog is the archetype of all others. News flash: there are plenty of blogs which do provide original journalism. Making snarky and dripping with sexual innuendo commentary on reporting may work for wonkette, but she shouldn't conflate her blog as being representational of the medium as a whole. And she really shouldn't cop that kind of attitude... wearing a poncho.
