Not really blogging

SFGate says that SF mayor Gavin Newsom's press secretary is in hot water for his blogging. You'd think a newspaper which actually has bloggers would understand what one is. Peter Ragone left comments about news stories about the mayor on blogs using other people's names. I don't think that makes him a blogger. Maybe a blog reader, maybe an anonymous commenter, but not a blogger. He'd need a blog to be a blogger. Maybe they just don't have the language to describe what he did:

Although the timing worked momentarily for Ragone, the incident left him with a mark on his record that no press secretary would want: For whatever reason, when first questioned by reporters about his blogging, he was less than truthful.

He was dishonest, but he wasn't blogging.

Shouldn't that be "enigmatic"

Another one of those "rush to be first" stories with a strange error. From the home page of SFGate.com, under a picture of Anna Nicole Smith:

Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as a tabloid tale, died today at age 39 after collapsing at a hotel. Famous for being famous, she went from being a dancer and centerfold to billionaire's widow and reality TV star. Talk about it in NWZCHIK.

According to dictionary.com, and my own common sense, pneumatic isn't normally used in reference to someone's personality.
