State Department Blogs Like It's 1999

Coming late to the game, the State Department started an official blog yesterday and sarcastic potshots spread in the comments like a thousand points of light.

They're playful:
"Will Condi be posting periodically, sharing tips on diplomacy and negotiating and what not? You guys still do that, right?"

They're incredulous:
"You have GOT to be kidding!! I'd tell you what I really think of your circa '99 great blog experiment, but I'm afraid of being wiretapped and put under surveillance."

They're practical:
"Any chance you can brighten your text? I'm straining to read it..."

They're hilarious.

We wonder if wonky debates will flourish in the comments as the detractors get bored.
