The Blogosphere Comes Of Age ...

... when this obit appears in the NYT:

The blogger Tanta, an influential voice on the mortgage collapse, died Sunday morning in Columbus, Ohio.

Ms Dungey, RIP, had the right tude:

Tanta liked to chew on the follies of regulators, the idiocies of lenders and a particular favorite clueless reporters, which according to her was just about all of them. She did not approve, she once wrote, of “parading one’s ignorance about mortgages in an article full of high-minded tut-tutting over ignorance about mortgages.”
