Chief Wiggles' book is out.

BTW, anyone who wants to buy a murder mystery/novel of self-discovery by an obnoxious blogger should let me know. I know someone who's writing one.

. . . has been updated! The Commissar reminds us that we shouldn't take the "left/right/other" column heads too seriously.

And all three of my "children" are left-leaning. I long for one right-wing blogchild, much as I pine to adopt a redhead in real life. We'll see what happens.

over on the East Coast, has become the go-to guy for naked swimming. I understand he's also an expert—oddly enough—on nude swimming.

That might, in fact, make him a good person to talk to about naturism, or nudism in general.

So now you know.

Daniel Solove:

There do not seem to be many sure votes in the Senate for Miers, and it is becoming difficult for Senators to support Miers without believing that theyÂ’ll take a big political hit. In essence, a set of virtual confirmation hearings are being held in cyberspace, and the fate of the nomination may well be decided before the actual hearings in the Senate even begin.

His conclusion: we may not have quite as much influence as we'd like, but we are driving debate. The glass is half full.

The Commissar is documenting the famly tree of the 'sphere; he'd like us to list our birth months/years, blogdaddies/mommies, and blogkids.

The first version of Little Miss Attila (on Blogsplat) began in March of 1993 2003.

My blogdaddy is James Joyner of Outside the Beltway.

My two confirmed blogchildren are Little Mr. Mahatma and K's Quest.

There are also rumors that I had something to do with Christophe and with Hip Nerd, but no one's ever been able to prove it.

Furthermore, I believe I was one of the people who urged the founder of Q&O to begin a blog, but I probably wasn't the main inspiration there. If memory serves, that was Frank J of IMAO.

UPDATE: Jon Henke confirms that I was an early influence, and names (current Q&O co-blogger) Dale Franks as his actual blogfather. He says he's comfortable with my being a kindly blog-aunt. (Which is lovely—what does he get? Five times my traffic?)

Fatass the Conquerer likes AC/DC.

Which is a sterling recommendation, in my book.

(Sure; they're very stylized. Their songs sound similar. But if you like that sound, it's no problem.)

It's been pointed out to me that in my mention of her several entries down, I gave a non-optimal link (it was a NewsMax site that promotes her columns). As a blogger, I should have linked to her blog. And so I shall.

. . . the cutest kids in the world.

Except for my nephews, of course—and in that case my perception is doubtless related to my biologically determined role as the Warrior Aunt who will need to destroy anyone who gets in their way. Woe be unto the first girls who break their hearts, once they become [gasp!] teenagers!

My nephew will be in Midsummer Night's Dream this year, and I'll be checking the audience, monitoring who claps and who does not. I may have to pistol-whip a few folks.
