Very practical.

Of course, knowing us we'd have a BVM on one side of the porch and a Buddha on the other, and it would create Much Confusion.

Kate Kershner puts in writing the requirements any sane person would have of his/her parents during a holiday visit in Production Rider for Kate Kershner's Holiday Visit Home Tour:

Probably best to avoid politics, books of a high-minded literary nature, foreign films, and music that doesn't have words. TALENT feels stupid when these are discussed and accidentally lies about her knowledge of them, which makes TALENT feel bad and drink more.

“Americans are looking for a candidate with experience running for president,” said an unnamed campaign spokesman. “In 2018, when John Edwards is 65, he’ll have spent 16 years seeking the office and have four campaigns under his belt. We think that will position him well for victory in 2020.”

An "ex" is a has-been; a "spurt" is a drip of water under pressure.

. . . channels Joseph Rago in a "rough draft" of the latter's diatribe against the blogosphere for the Wall Street Journal.

It is, as always, magnificent.

This is some pretty heady company I'm in, here.

I'm getting a surprising amount of support. I mean, I'd feel bad about my low showing, but look at this list! Even Virginia Postrel isn't looking as good as she ought to.

I was considering voting for The Anchoress, and then I faltered and voted for . . well, myself. I'm selfish. So selfish.

1 I just found out that the low vote DOESN'T win this contest. We have some catching up to do! Every vote makes a statement! You decide what that is!

2 I'm not liking your low numbers--I mean after all I seconded your nomination. However. "Conservative Blogress" is one thing. "Diva" might be another. Shouldn't there be more hairbrush-throwing, temper-tantrums to make true 'Diva' status? I can't recall if you've ever yanked a handful of another blogress' hair or bitchslapped anyone for getting uppity with you here... It's great to be nominated for contests. It's even better to win...some.

3 Waitaminnit waitaminnit waitaminnit! I forgot about this post! And it was just this week. Yeah that's the ticket, right there. Well I voted for you anyway, but now I have better justification for *not* voting for the other diva (who flicked me from her blogroll for failing to keep my lips adhered tightly enough to her diva posterior).

Posted by: Desert Cat at December 23, 2006 10:26 PM (xdX36)

4 Our outstanding efforts left that eClaire honey eating our dust!! 43 to 39, baby!!! Read it and weep! Real Divas don't need polls to tell them what they already know . . .Woms! Everyone of them! As if you'd even open your winner's notification . . .

2 This is as good as any time to point out that LMA is a semi-finalist in the Grande Conservative Blogress Diva 2007 Awards at Gaypatriot. http://gaypatriot.net/2006/12/22/voting-begins-for-grande-conservative-blogress-diva AG is the undisputed Queen of The Broken-Link and I know it should be "Blogtress," but who cares. You only have until December 24th to vote, and since LMA has mentioned this zero times by my count, she may need a little help. She is currently trailing Ann Althouse 601 to 17.(Friday midnite) If Kos can get 2000 votes in ten hours in that other web awards contest, this should be no problem at all. Pretend you are from Chicago. Like Senator O'bama. John Fitzgerald O'bama.

3 I'd fix the link, but it would ruin my rep I like John Fitzgerald O'bama. Never trust an Irishman.

4 I got to this link just fine, but now that I know it's not just me, the link for "The Rules of the Game in the Middle East" is messed up, too. So on balance, I'd say LMA is still in the running...

Posted by: RightWingConspirator at December 26, 2006 03:01 PM (RvFeA)

5 I stand corrected. A later attempt to open the link above proved successful. Perhaps my comp is a toaster posing as a computer after all... And my apologies to LMA.

Well, sort of.

Holy fucking shit: Steve has been—is—seriously ill. But he's stabilizing, and may even start writing again at some point.

Send him a note to wish him well, or drop by and say "hi."
