With people affected by Katrina blogging the event, I started thinking about what historical event would have produced blogging I'd be most amazed to read (had blogging been around). The first one that came to mind was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and the subsequent engulfing of Pompeii, but that kind of was blogged, in a sense, by Pliny the Younger, so I thought on. And the truth is, I can't really think of anything of which I'd more like to have an unfiltered eyewitness account than the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. Aside from the fact that it would just be amazing, it would also clear up a whole lot of Framers' Intent nonsense.
Short of a blog authored by Christ himself, which would clear up a whole lot more nonsense, I've got to go with that.
How about you?
