I have begun reading the blog of one Asparagirl, mainly because I was fascinated by the idea that an anonymous person with a good head on their shoulders can reach minor celebrity through their blogs. She had an article written about her in the LA times and generally seems to articulate herself well. She is now getting thousands of hits a day…something I would like to get even in a year!
What impresses me most, though, is that she defends Israel and Zionism to a large audience on the web. She has taken on some very hostile characters indeed. And dare I say it, chewed them up, spat them out and then kicked them in the ribs (all figuratively speaking of course). She is part of the hasbara arsenal, and for that I applaud her.
