Contributors and readers (all 2 of you) – I’m about to retool the blog and start spending more time over here. I moved over to FaceBook to post the majority of content I produce (a lot is cross-posted here) because FB was a more real time, reactive platform but the fact of the matter is…
My son won an Emmy. That is all. End of transmission.
I probably should explain my absence here and the TransCanada thing in my last post. I’m in Vancouver, British Columbia right now… I’ve been a little busy. I left the consulting world and accepted the position as Chief Operating Officer for a privately held subsea technology company called OceanWorks International. I’m in Canada working…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 990,000 times in 2013. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 43 days for that many people to see…
Please welcome Charles Edinger from the liberal occupied territories of the upper northeast, Connecticut to be exact. I’ve been impressed with his comments and wanted to give him a bigger stage on which to pontificate. Chuck will be blogging I under the pseudonym of cdejazz.
…specifically to piss Professor Jimmy off. Whatever happens in Spokane, will not stay in Spokane. Welcome back Dusty. It is your turn to drive Hitler’s staff car. That is an inside joke from the old Panama City News-Herald heydays when we were gloriously engaged in battle with commie commenters annola and The Wizard Weatherman of Wewa, buggerthat.
All: we are getting slammed with spam comments from Asia again – not a biggie, it happens to every blog but the issue is that sometimes as our spam filter learns which comments are to be blocked, it catches legitimate comments in the same net. If your comment doesn’t immediately show up, be patient. I’ll be checking…
We made it! When I started this blog in January of 2011, I had no idea that it would actually reach this point. It still isn’t big by the standards of Ace of Spades HQ that gets 300,000 a day but 2,000,000 in two years ain’t too shabby. I said that I would put Utah…
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that 2013 is a great year for all and that it ends better than it has started with the Republicans agreeing to commit suicide for half of the revenue that Obama initially demanded. In case you are wondering, our staunch spending/tax cutting warriors in the Senate did neither, accepting…
What? It’s NEW year, not NUDE year? Well, it should be that. It would make me happy anyway – is it to much to ask for a little happiness for me? If you make a resolution – promise me that it is not be a knob like these unfortunate folks…and if you are, get someone…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 1,300,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 24 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than…
All: We are getting hammered with spam. Christmas season is here, so if you need any cheap Ugg boots, Viagra without a prescription, cheap sunglasses, Russian mail order brides or discount designer clothes (no, they are real Ralph Lauren, we swear), let me know. Sometimes legit comments get hung in the filter, so be patient, we are…
…to Tea Party Patriots for noting us in their newsletter as one of their “6 Blogs You Should Visit Today” along with five other fine right leaning blogs: Here are 6 Blogs that you’ll be glad you read. Add these to the bookmarks on your web browser and visit them on a regular basis. It…
One million, five hundred thousand page views…we hit that number last night around 11 pm Central…Drudge does that in about 15 minutes but for we, the unpaid and untalented, that is a pretty big number… Thanks to all the authors and comment contributors as we are also nearing 21,000 comments… I hope to get back to…
All: Once again and for some unknown reason, there are more and more comments that are getting hung up in the spam filter. If you have a comment with multiple links listed in it or embedded, the filter sometimes catches it. I think that the Akismet spam algorithm also sometimes gets a little picky when spam levels…
Got this in the site email – good advice: ” Monkey Business” It stated as a post that needed commentary. However it has become an increasingly bitter, angry, accusatory tome of dysfunction. I read the Rio Norte Line to help me focus on my conservative values, educate me on conservative ideas and principles, enlighten me on “Progressivism” and the decline of America…
All, and especially new commenters, if you post a comment and it doesn’t show right away, it may be stuck in the spam filter. There are some that are getting snagged that shouldn’t be. We seem to be getting hit with a lot lately. I’m working on it, not as fast as I’m working on…
To all who correspond with me via an email address at British Telecom – the emial that ends in @btinternet.com – this account will die tomorrow as I have changed Internet providers. I switched to SKY, owned by Rupert Murdoch – who also owns FOX… Yes, Hillary was right, we are a vast right wing…
I know that I probably have something to apologize for…but when one is just this awesome, one struggles to find a flaw. I mean, I’m so awesome that The Most Interesting Man in the World dresses as me for Halloween…after all, anybody can be diversionary and dishonest but when you toss in pompous on top,…
I did something that I felt necessary this past week. I banned a commenter, lovegrove, for needless vulgarity and attacking friends and supporters of this site. I’m not proud of it. I don’t want to do it again but I sort of resent the implication that by doing it I am “hard” or some kind…
