Foaming Moore

'One needs a word,' intones Charles Moore, filling space in the Spectator, 'to describe the monotonously chirpy, conventionally iconoclastic, relentlessly informal tone of voice that is typical of the blog. Does the phrase 'blog-standard' already exist? If not, it should.' Good grief! While it's good (and quite surprising) to know that Moore has heard of blogs, one wonders, doesn't one, how many he's read. Clearly not this one, to which none of the above epithets could be applied by any stretch.
(By the way, Moore is a man who, by his own admission, likes to fill his mouth with toothpaste and lie underwater in his bath, foaming lightly. He nearly choked to death doing this once, but survived to tell the tale - in the Spectator of course.)
