I Know I Got a Bad Reputation
WSJ- The least likely scoop of Election Night 2006.
According to Tim Carney, there is something called, "The Dougherty Doctrine"
"He has an uncontrollable habit of bombthrowing and contrarianism, but he had me with the polka dot pink tie and matching pocket kerchief, so he can stay" Joanna "
"...an all-around man-about-town who combines stern truth-telling and penetrating wit with uproariously entertaining tales of mild vagabondage...Daniel Larison
"One of the most interesting conservative writers around" Shawn Macomber
"the nicest and best dressed paleocon out there" Matt Zietlin
more from Larison: Surfeited with Dainties itself is a fairly remarkable and unique blog that stands out from the crowd of bloggers with their cookie-cutter formats and their one or two hobby-horses that they (myself included) ride relentlessly. It is a blog with broad and varied interests that nonetheless conveys a sort of coherence and unity of vision that most blogs cannot begin to match. Michael has taken up the role of cultural critic in the broadest sense of the term, examining everything from music to fashion to sports to religion to foreign policy to economics to immigration to the more conventional battlegrounds of the culture wars with a sense of discretion and taste and a refreshing mix of wit, irreverence and serious reflection. It has been a pleasure to lend him what little I have had to offer by way of support for his work, and I look forward to the day when the name Surfeited with Dainties confuses and befuddles millions upon millions of readers.
