Do to a recent spate

Do to a recent spate of appearances of references to Jerzy Kosinski’s Being There, I am now starting a ‘Being There’ blogwatch.

Three sightings:

1.) Jonah’s latest column.

2.) The Instapundit.

3.) The Illuminated Donkey referring to a picture of Ken Lay.

In all fairness, 1 and 2 are related, but still, three references in one 24 hour period is uncanny.

FWIW- I still think the greatest play on the Chauncey/Forrest phenomenon was the cover of Sports Illustrated several years back, when they were discussing Rosey Grier’s habit of being everywhere (tackling Sirhan Sirhan, ministering to O.J., etc.). The title of the cover was:

Forrest Grier.
