// From the bizarre no-it's-not-really-homophobia glee when he
// perceived that Brokeback Mountain was "failing" at the
// box office (obviously, it wasn't; see 
// http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/2004/12/our-war-against-mickey-kaus.html),
// to his meta editors-on-top-of-editors schtick, to his 
// Avis contrarianism ("We try harder! --ed"), Mickey Kaus is the most 
// annoyingly ubiquitous blogger on a major media website.
// 
// This script prevents me from inadvertently clicking on his posts while 
// visiting slate.com, which is otherwise a fine news & commentary site.
