The Case of the Missing Blogger


No, not me. Nobody's missing me.

Once upon a time, there was a suburban housewife/secretary/blogger named Michele Catalano who wrote very well and covered politics and pop culture. She wrote a blog called A Small Victory, which you see is now defunct, and then one called Faster Than the World, also now defunct, and she was the co-creator of the influential The Command Post, likewise defunct except for haunting the Library of Congress.

And now, apparently, she's been arrested in Italy. Turns out that she was not a Long Island blogger/secretary/housewife, but an Italian gangster! And a man! And she lied about her age! For shame!

Or it could be that gangster Michele Catalano (who was arrested while watching a TV show about the arrest of a gangster) is someone else entirely, and blogger Michele Catalano is hiding out here.
