Almost seems like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Apparently, the gov’t has caught on to the esteemed ranks of blogging. Yesterday’s Slate had an article about TSA’s blog. Check the article out at http://www.slate.com/id/2215822/. Oh, and the USDA National Agriculture Library blog: Infofarm is awesome. Seriously.
The best government blogs actually sound like blogs, too. InfoFarm, the Department of Agriculture’s blog, may be the first-ever instance of government-sponsored snark. Peter Orszag’s blog for the Office of Management and Budget (as well as his former CBO blog) is on-message but goofy. TSA’s Burns once wrote a post consisting entirely of poultry puns. And LoC blogger Matt Raymond recently took the opportunity to embed a video of boxing cats, solemnly dubbed “a presentation of the Library of Congress.”
