I'm dying to blog on the NYT story, but it's nothing to lose sleep over

The blogosphere is having a field day with The New York Times page one Sunday story on killer blogs. (They came from Africa via South America, and are moving north from Texas right now!)

ZDNet's Larry Dignan has a drop-dead interesting take on the lack of balance in the Killer Blogs saga. (And I mean no disrespect for those who have tragically passed recently, I'm poking fun at the broader NYT assertions only.)

Funny that the passing of NRA chatterbox Charlton Heston (Let my Ammo Go!) was the NYT story for metro edition, replacing the Killer Blogs story from the later national edition on page one.

So let's honor Charlton by taking a lesson from the NRA: Guns don't kill people, blogs do.

Or perhaps it's, Blogging doesn't kill people, computers do. (I'll give up my laptop when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!)

No, no, wait ... it must be: Heart attacks don't kill people, Mike Arrington does ... or wants to, at least Demo, mainstream media, CNET, and all the other bloggers who take speculative investments and who still don't put in the torturous hours he does. [UPDATE: Add Comcast to the list.]

So let's hereby make today, National Tuck a Blogger In For a Nap Day. Sweet dreams, Mike.
