While I was away...

I had a business trip today (more about why in a week or so), which explains the paucity of blogging on my part.

However, I'm glad to see that there was a thread about me, over at Asymmetrical Information. I was particularly bemused by this equation summarizing my contribution to the blogosphere:

(Andrew Sullivan - hysteria) + international finance + Carmen Electra-blogging = Daniel Drezner

Commenters are warily encouraged to come up with what they believe are more precise equations.

And -- for the record -- I don't think I've ever seen a hysterical post from Andrew Sullivan.

Did you have something to do at Condi's confirmation hearing?

It's okay to agree with the equation, right?

(Virginia Postrel + Maxim + Oxblog)/Bush

(read this aloud to yourself to understand fully)

Conservatism + actual knowledge - mindless hysteria + Selma Hayek = Daniel Drezner

Andrew is going to get the vapors when he sees this.

I think you've got to subtract the gayblogging from Sullivan too.

For the record, when did you stop reading Sullivan?

Must have been sometime before Bush came out in support of the FMA, since that is (I reckon) the point at which Sullivan's hysteria set in. Ever notice how Sullivan's support for the war took a 180 as soon as Bush came out for FMA? Gotta be the hysteria.

I agree with Al. I used to read Sullivan every day. And read him seriously. Now I browse him once every 3 days. It's sad, really.

Definitely messed up using Carmen Electra instead of Salma Hayek. A simple Googling shows: CE = 16 hits, SH = 83 hits.

Andrew Sullivan, hysterical?
Please! You guys need to get out more.

@fish: was there a pun intended in that last sentence there? If there wasn't, there should have been.
