Blogospheric Justice

Forget "poetic" justice. What kind of world would we see if there were blogospheric justice?

Laurie Zoloth would be named President of SFSU

Pejman Yousefzadeh would be called to his ancestral homeland and appointed Prime Minister of the (non-Islamic) Republic of Iran

Bill Quick would become editorial editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and Andrew Sullivan the executive editor of the New York Times

Steven Den Beste would get a real starship to fly around in

Eric S. Raymond would become Chief Software Architect at Microsoft and re-release all of its source code under a public license.

Laurence Simon would get his own late-night talk show.

Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, Ted Turner, Michael Lerner, Cherie Blair and Chris Patten would all become Human Shields for Palestine and then see the light (a very bright light).

Ariel Sharon would get his own brand of potato chips

Yassir Arafat would take 1000 of his favorite gunmen and a lifetime supply of baby wipes and retire to Burkina Fasso

"Smart Leftist" Max Sawicky would get a job as a staff economist at a silly union-sponsored think tank.

Certain female bloggers would bear the children of certain male bloggers.

The L.A. Times would move Robert Scheer's column to the funny pages.

Glenn Reynolds would be named to the U.S. Supreme Court, from where he would continue to write Instapundit

Charles Johnson would be appointed ambassador to the de-Islamified Republic of Saudi Arabia, where he would also open a jazz club. "Midnight at the Oasis" is taken to a whole new level.
