Funny that you mention it. I noticed about a week or so ago, and I wanted to do a funny post, but (apart from my unfuniness) I thought this might go badly since I had no idea when they changed the names.
On one hand, it's less hilarious that they are no longer Hindrocket et al. On the other hand, it's more hilarious that they *had been* and changed the names.
Did you hear there's a new pope?
And that Ann Coulter was on the cover of Time?

Ok, I admit I don't read Powerline every day.

Why would you have read them before? You can make fun of silly names just looking at Groucho Marx's IMDB page.

I never read it. I find that the (metaphoric) shlurping noise that over-excited mouthbreathers make irks me too much.
I rely on TBogg to keep me up to date on the most egregious happenings.

Not to mention poor spelling.

"Big Trunk, you can ride my Hindrocket anytime." - John
His nom de blog reminds me of one of the joke porn films in Clerks called, if memory serves, "Buttblasters in Outer Space".
