Friday Afternoon Confessional: John Leonard
I confess that the "entitling every post 'John Leonard' concept" is at a crossroads. Is it played out, or is it only starting to be truly funny? Ben Wolfson, a true pioneer in the field of non-descriptive blogpost titles, has implemented an all-"John Leonard" policy.
