Has a question about sex. Do you have an answer?

UPDATE: Thought I'd throw the real link in there. But you have to scroll up to get the survey: the permalink apparently lands you on the comments section, rather than on the entry. Wonder if that's a Wordpress issue, or whether I'm still doing something wrong.

You know, if everyone were to simply shut up about Jessica Cutler, she really might go away.

And we could even try it with Ana Marie Cox, while we're at it. No linkage, no WaPo mag cover reproduction = no buzz, no nothing.

I'm just sayin'.

has given me my very own blog stamp. Scroll down and see if you can spot which one is me—without peeking!

Juliette was right; I got a good one!

Rusty Shackleford, guest-blogging over at The Politburo, is making as much mischief as the Commissar ever did.

Rosemary and Dean have some news.

We hope they are going to register online, and set up a P.O. Box for us to send presents to. Another suggestion that was made: a week-long virtual baby shower.

This won't be the first baby born into a blogging family, but it might end up being the one most spoiled by the blogosphere.

Is back, and badder than ever.

Discusses the slippery slope of addiction:

I went to Amy's Ice Cream in the shopping plaza where Cabo's used to be and picked up two random pints and a cup of Dark Velvet.

At first, I used to reward myself with Amy's when I was really good.

Then, I rewarded myself when I was good.

After that, I switched to when I wasn't bad.

Now, it's when nobody faults me for my evils.

Sure, I may have gotten worse over the years, but Amy's ice cream hasn't.

For some of us, these matters have turned into "whenever I can get my hands on it." Of course, that may explain why that extra ten pounds won't go away, but I don't want to talk about it.

I should probably just take the Site Meter off this page entirely; it's turned into a caricature of itself. It's one thing that it under-measures traffic, but I've always hoped it under-measured everyone at the same rate, so at least we can use it for comparisons.

But this is just beyond the pale: my numbers are now going backward. A few days ago I reached the 20,000-hit mark. These things are relative, of course, but that's a nice little landmark for a tiny blog. As of yesterday, however, the Site Meter had actually gone backward, so I'm now supposedly back below the 19,000 visits. Several hundred unique visits just vanished. Amazing.

And then there is the matter of the Ecosystem, which still has me at the old Blogspot site. I've sent N.Z. Bear two e-mails, as well as "going through channels" and sending him the updated information through the Ecosystem. It's been over a month, and the link is still incorrect.

If there's someone out there who either ranks higher-than-mammal or has a personal rapport with him, that would be great; I'd like to get that changed, but he has to open my e-mail first.

And if someone has a hit meter that's actually accurate, let me know. I feel like I'm running in sand, here.

Whaddya know? George W. Bush has a blog now; check it out. (Make sure to read the sample blog page included: the nuclear launch code segment is priceless.)

Dean Esmay points us to one online petition that everyone should sign. This is an issue that is close to most of our hearts—whether we're male or female, black or white, right or left. Please—help out now.

The Commissar has once again rounded up the gang. It's the bloggy equivalent of dropping by the diner for a hamburger and dropping a nickel in the jukebox: a good time will be had by all.

Timeless Commissar satire.

I'll be past the 20,000-hit mark within the week—heck, with my current enhanced traffic, it'll only be a few days. The time that elapses between these watersheds gets shorter and shorter. I know 20,000 doesn't sound like a lot to some of you, but it's all relative. And for a small-time blogger who's only been at this for 16 months, it's a fine thing indeed: I remember when I was getting maybe six hits a day—all from people I knew—and now it's better than ten times that, and growing by leaps and bounds.

Now if I could only get N.Z. Bear to update the link for Little Miss Attila so it goes to this site, rather than the old Blogspot one, I'd be a happy camper.
