Dude's got a point. I mean, you've got to earn that quarterly check from VRWC headquarters. When you took Karl Rove's shilling, you became his bitch.

I could use a beer and a "happy ending" massage.

Personally, I'd like to see you write a lot more fawning, flattering posts about me. Oh, and I think that now and then you should randomly change the font in the middle of a sentence and then change it back after a few letters, just for the hell of it. Now that would be cool.

And my lawn needs mowing, too. Just, y'know, whenever you have the time. No rush. But sometime before Wednesday, okay?

I don't know, I kind of like the personal interjection of yourself in the story. You're pretty funny, so it makes for a nice change of pace.

"Drama Queen Link Whore"

Bill, do you wear the F-me boots and the vinyl skirt, fake nails, and Dolly wig? I'd pay money to see that.

Rock On!

Huh? I like you Bill. Just wish you could seek out more moonbat swarms and write your fantastic photo essays. They're my favorites!
Any swarms on the horizon in D.C.?

Why are you writing about yourself on your blog? Don't you know it's _not about you?_

I wish you had more Cat Blogging.

Lions and Bears and Whores..Oh My

We must be in OZ :-O

I've gotta concur with Barbara and disagree with your quoted reader. I can read news and analysis at a lot of different places. Injecting yourself into your posts personalizes them, distinguishing them from the many other sources. Well, that plus the fact that your news and analysis is often different from other sources.

And as far as the Bill O'Reilly comparison is concerned — um, no. I don't think so. O'Reilly leaves me with the impression that he believes the world revolves around him. Your self-referential items just leave me with the impression that you're "reporting" from your own perspective, a key point that is missing from a lot of so-called "objective reporting" from the likes of "real journalists" who provide their own partisan perspective but try to cast it as "The Truth." Dana Milbank comes to mind.

wow, thanks Boyd. That's pretty much what I've ben going for ...

And as for Joe's comment, there are no "happy ending[s]" at INDC.

More cute animal stories please. Oh, and the occasional wine review. Nudey pics of Laura Bush might also help.

just my 2 pence

chris, stop bloviating. That's my job.

Hmmm, "Prom Queen Drama"? Has a nice ring to it. I'm thinking that you might want to re-title your blog. Or maybe add it as one of those little mini-reviews along the sidebar:

"makes what is otherwise solid investigative blogging into prom-queen drama"
-Chris

Just think of the added Google hits!

I am ashamed of your constant attempts at link whoring. My blog, Sharp as a Marble has much more class and would never do something like that.

after someone calls you a whore, even as a metaphor, can you let them chuck your chin and say keep up the good work?

if so, then I say, put on the crown, prom queen! and write more science stuff, like the bat studies. and put up a picture of you in your prom getup. or tell Chris to naff off. hey, that's what you're oh-so-subtly doing here, isn't it? yay! naff off, Chris!

ps when I have some extra cash next payday, I will help you out. as should everyone here, including Chris.

Thanks.

I did tell him to naff off in more explicit terms on the other thread, but I deleted the relevant comments because they became pretty heated.

Linky-linky five dollah. Blogroll me, pleeeeeze.

I think you should stop paying so much attention to your commenters. Ahm jest sayin, is all. ;]p~
