Zen Master Wonkette
Ana Marie Cox, the Wonkette, in her Washington Post online chat (registration required), punches some words of wisdom out of her Powerbook. From the Transcript:
Denver, Colo.: Blogging seems to be a good fit to your personality and subject, do you ever long for more traditional journalism?
Ana Marie Cox: Yes, I do. But I really hate pitching stories. . . That's why I started a blog, actually. Because I wanted to just write stuff without having to prove to an editor it was a good idea. If the only thing I get out of Wonkette is the ability to get editors to assign me stories without my having to _sell_ the pitch, I will be happy.
