This "Well" Has Run Dry. No one died and left me in charge of the American language. The last time I checked, William Safire was alive. But after noticing the flurry of “well, [blank]” in recent articles, I decided to investigate this turn-of-phrase. After clicking around, I discovered that it's everywhere.
