Instapundit Spoof; Michelle Malkin Spoof

I realize many of you aren't as interested in Instapundit (also known as "Traffic Santa") as I am, but I think this is kinda funny.

The stuff about "It's a Pundit" not having opinions on important issues of the day... funny because it's true.

Hey, Instapundit: I don't have opinions on a lot of things, either. In fact, I usually don't have any idea what the hell I'm talking about at all.

Does that stop me from offering bold, moronic opinions? No, it does not. It's part of the job.

If you can't invent an opinion on the spot and speak authoritatively about matters you have no good idea about whatsoever, then what the hell are you doing blogging? If you can't offer passionate opinions you just developed three seconds ago, it's time to give up your blogger laminate.

Meanwhile, this Michell Malkin parody page seems to be coming at her from the left, but not too viciously, I think. As Michelle is kind enough to keep me on my blogroll, despite my filthy-dirty postings (Thank God she doesn't actually read this stupid site!), I hope she doesn't mind my linking this too much.

It's sorta funny, and, you know: the left has been so damn humorless for so damn long I sort of want to encourage them. Being a little less serious all the time might be beneficial for our political culture.

Finally... not a spoof, just a sad prediction. Blog audiences tend to be male, and futhermore tend to be horny little bastards, so it is sadly preordained that all 100 of the top bloggers in three years will be cute chicks who do video-blogging. Here's one of the first of many coming challenges to my no longer well-nigh inevitable rise to fame and fortune beyond measure.

Pretty soon all male bloggers -- and female bloggers, too, who are not vivaciously cute and flirty -- will be effectively blacklisted, and we'll have to blog through "fronts" of cute chicks who pretend they're doing all the blogging.

Sort of like Wonkette, I guess. I wonder-- does she need an intern?

I have seen my future, and my future is Ring Lardner.

Malkin parod via The Hotline's blog round-up by William Buetler (subscription required). Cute vblogger thanks to the depravedly-horny The Fat Kid, who's already informed me he's abandoning this site entirely to do all his commenting... elsewhere.

My Alternate Future Update: I guess I could just finally give in and become a full-time INTERNET Star Trek dork; I've certainly got the basic training.

Bbeck says this site is pretty dorky and therefore pretty funny, and she would know. She made out with Larry Niven, don't forget.

View the trailer for an episode called, ahem, "The Trassuarian Intersection."

Wow. A title like that really just sells the project. Puts me in the mind of traffic-jams.

But seriously-- how do these dorks have the money to build fairly decent-looking sets and do special effects?

Ohhhh... right.

Damnit, I knew I should have gone into computers in college. What the hell did I really think I was going to do with a degree in Elizabethan Erotic Poetry?

IN THE MAIL: A letter bomb.

This is why I have plenty of interns to open my mail. And lots of turnover from semester-to-semester.

Pants. Wear the whole thing.
Heh. Indeed.

The Maklin thing was Sorta funny in a really lame way.

Dammit, the vblog doesn't work without quicktime, which I can't get at work.

Lack of standards will buy you antiquated text driven blogs some time.

JamieR,

Well, don't sweat it. When I say "cute," I mean that-- very cute. But not ultrahot or anything.

You can wait 'till you get home.

Keep it in your pants at the office. Trust me, you might think you're being discreet, but Eucalyptis Honey hand lotion has a giveaway scent.

She *does* have nice bewbs.

Oh, pheshaw. I say poo to that video blog. Poo!

Check today's vlog -- she's a cute moonbat.

(Or maybe it's a joke; I turned it off pretty quick.)

WHO? Is the 'It's A Pundit'?

Anyone?

Anyone?

LOL, Ace. When my husband showed me that Star Trek site, I automatically knew the guy playing the captain HAD to have been the man with the FUNDING. There is no way he would have been cast without paying for the role. And I'm right, he's one of the producers.

The sets and costumes are admittedly pretty accurate, which is scary that those people spent so much time getting it right. As for me, I couldn't make it past the Clay leptor, or whatever they called it. Hubs watched the whole episode and still quotes it just to annoy me.

No one else seems to be posting about this, tho. Maybe they saw it and think it's COOL. :)

Later,
bbeck

More likely we are embarrassed for you, bbeck, but because we like you we are keeping our scorn and derision to ourselves....

Posted by: Jack M. on April 2, 2005 01:17 AM

Jack, you DO realize I don't have anything to do with that Starship Exeter site, right? PLEASE tell me everyone knows I just passed it along as an example of something so dorky not even I would have anything to do with it!

Geez, I'm proud to be a Geek but I want to be known as one for the right reasons...

Later,
bbeck

I couldn't take the vblog chick seriously. I kept catching myself waiting for her to take the money shot in the face, and then realizing that I wasn't watching that kind of video.
