I've been skimming around the blogosphere, looking for interesting people to argue with. And there are thousands. Which is good. I like arguing. But there are countless bloggers who only blog about blogging. They don't rant about the economy or wax lyrical about the arts or just plain vent their spleen to anyone who'll listen.

If sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, the quoting Oscar Wilde is the lowest form of original thought. There is an art to good sarcasm. A poetry. A beauty.

It requires sharp wits and a silken tongue. Those who deplore sarcasm simply do not understand it. |
