Untethered
Frankly, this is an unfortunate choice of words.
Las Vegas, as the ad campaign likes to remind us, is a place people go to untether themselves from reality — to become, if only for a weekend, anonymous and uncensored. It's odd, then, that Vegas is about to play host to a gathering of ordinary Americans whose objective is precisely the reverse. Next week, 1,000 devotees of the liberal blogging universe — people who know one another only as pseudonyms on a screen, connected by only their running commentaries — will descend on the Riviera Hotel in hopes of affixing names and faces to their online personas. (Emphasis added)
The article is about the Daily Koz Kidz Konvention in Sin City. There will inevitably be commentary about how tethered the Koz Kidz are to begin with.
Just saying.

Loved this post
If anyone can be considered untethered from reality it’s the KOZKIDZ & Co. They should feel right at home in Vegas.
