The verb “to bleg” seems to have settled in happily at NRO. Has anyone seen

it elsewhere? (In this sense, I mean — I am not interested in the Berliner

Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft.) If so, it will presumably end up in

dictionaries. In which case I want to lay claim to it, as I am pretty sure

I invented it–here in The Corner, then in my July 2002 Diary.
