Blogger "Symposium" at Right Wing News

Frank from IMAO, Michele from ASV, Bill from INDC, and (ahem) lowly I all kibbitzed for an hour at John Hawkins' Right Wing News site. Oh yeah, he was "moderating," I guess you'd call it, although it was pretty unmoderated.

It was kind of like an AOL chat room with one woman and a dozen 16 year old boys, all of us trying to get out our best internet pick up lines. ("Baby, you so fine, your daddy must have had a shrouded T3 connection to download all that fine pixelation into your ass. You're l33t, sweets.")

Since I didn't have any good lines, I just kept to the background mostly, hoping the chick would notice the very interesting Morissey quote in my sigline.

And, to be fair, I guess it didn't help when I began asking people if they wanted to cyber.

The edited version looks sort of like something you can actually follow, though.

I made the admission that I've softened on Wonkette. I still don't think she's funny, but I do think that her daily news round-up is useful. Or it would be, if I read her site, which I almost always don't.

I didn't slip the f-word or even the douchebaggery-word past Hawkins. Damnit, that was half of my schtick.

Thanks big to Allah for suggesting me to Hawkins for this thing.

Unbelievable Oversight: Damnit, I wasn't prepared for the "which female bloggers do you read question," and I stupidly forgot to mention the wonderful Florida Cracker, who's not only a great blogger, but who's been a big cross-pollinator with this site since way back. Wayyyy back.

Way back, like to March.

I'm sorry, Florida. A mention on RWN would have been good for some exposure but I just completely brain-froze on it.

Update: John was kind enough to parenthetically correct my inconsiderate oversight. Thanks, man.

I think you were in my class at school. The kid that always got his hand up before mine.

I like your blog because you don't take yourself so seriously that all who come should envy your journalistic prowess. You're a straight up guy that tells it like it is. Bill is a self-important pontificater. Better hear what he has to say or he'll slime ya'. Frank J. is the wannabe class clown. I used to read, him but he's lost me forever with his Sunday post. I lump Hawkins and Michele in the same boat: Serious and determined. (sorry 'bout the same boat Ace).

You all seemed taken aback by the monetary returns being gleened from the blogosphere. IMHO though, I think the popularity will die down after the election. That's going to pare down sites like the Daily Kos, Wonkette, DU, CrushKerry, et al. What's left are going to be blogs with diverse opinion and scope. Hopefully this blog will continue and hopefully without "Eddie and the Cruisers".

It's been edited to include me. Thanks.
Yeah, I knew you before you were a bigshot. All those great posts for a tiny audience. Hopefully Son of Nixon will continue to toil in perpetual obscurity so I can keep having him pretty much all to myself.

I won't get started on the female bloggers coozing it up for hits or I'll never get out of here.

An Eddie and The Cruisers mention... how ironic.

Ace - I was channel flipping from CNN to Fox the other day and was stopped by Wonkette's presence on CNBC. She and four people I'd never heard of were on Tina Brown. I cracked up about several things:

1 - Cox was the one person on Brown's panel of "journalists" that I'd ever heard of; nice A team Tina!
2 - Cox was credited as "Editor of Wonkette.com"!
3 - I imagined Ace howling in rage and frustration that he never gets invited on TV shows and that he should have fucking thought to tout himself as Editor and Publisher of Ace of Spade HQ Inc.
4 - The little vixen is really pretty hot.

Props for mentioning Flordia Cracker.

I understand Bill's concept of modifying your blogging because of your readers. I somehow ended up on the blogroll of a Russian Orthodox priest, and I'm now afraid of using headlines like "Jonah Goldberg is on fucking fire."

Why is TV shows a no target hyperlink in my previous comment? I did not do that, so how did it happen?

You're selling out, Ace? Say it ain't so.
