A Patron Saint for Bloggers?
Professor Bainbridge expands on a Hugh Hewitt comment concerning potential patron saints for bloggers. I mean... everyone else has them- why not us?
I think, if I had to pick, I'd pick Elpidius (or Expeditus, or whatever they call him). He probably never really existed, so technically he's probably not a real saint so we don't have to worry about people who aren't Catholic. He's already the patron saint of computer programmers and prompt solutions. Hmmm... bloggers use computers, and ask Dan Rather how prompt we can be with finding solutions to interesting puzzles.
So, I put my vote in for Saint Expeditus for Patron Saint of Bloggers.
Now... if I were still a practicing Catholic, I'd also be praying to him because of the whole procrastination thing... oh, well...
