The New YorkObservertoday features a lengthy and hilarious investigation into the public, online meltdown ofNew Republicculture critic Lee Siegel, who, after penning a blog for TNR in which he attacked all other bloggers and those associated with them (in the process coining the term "blogofascism"), later dove into the comment threads of his own posts to defend himself. Using a goofy alias, of course, and lots of blogofascistic language. Naturally, at some point in his storied career of pissing people off, he pissed off Christopher Hitchens -- so they took it to the streets! Or, uh, to their respective inboxes.
