Computers Don't Get Irony

I guess I have to be more cautious re: linking so freely to articles in the Washington Post. I got picked up in Technorati's sweep of the blogs for my most recent post on Marion Barry's failed drug test. (I posted the text below, but it probably won't look that great.) I probably got more visits today than ever before . . . but that isn't altogether a good thing.

Btw, Technorati summarized my post as "Barry got set up again." Like the Man said, computers don't get irony. Isn't that how Logan beat the computer in Logan's Run? How Captain Kirk beat some super-computer some time or another? How Odysseus defeated the Cyclops?

But this is different. There's no defeating this Technorati juggernaut.
