Can we admit (quietly, among ourselves) that Time naming Powerline "blog of the year" was the Best Thing Ever?

Yes, but I'd spell it Evar.

I'm doing a little use/mention dance here, hoping to attract the attention of Weiner.

Slightly OT: is the Poor Man a writer on some comedy show?

He really should be. He's legitimately talented.

Yes, but the trackback shouldn't be showing up on this post.

Ah, an interesting point. I'm going to call it user error and hope it doesn't happen again.

No, I went back and checked the URL - definitely links to the Holy Cow post. I think it may be trackbacking to the top post on the page by default.

Here's a more complete list of best-selling albums. Shania Twain at #6? Who knew?

I didn't say it was user error.

I have now read the "WWWA" announcement three times. Somehow, it strikes me as wrong that I'll never see it made into a short television skit.

Jeebus, ogged. I realized it just after I posted. How could you possibly have responded that fast? Do you have access to some sort of Firefox (the plane, not the browser) response system?

My email program checks every minute, so you probably posted just before it checked, and I responded right after. What I don't understand is how fast people who don't get email notifications respond.

I assume they have a tabbed browser, and just keep it refreshing in the background as they do other work. That's what I do.

Damn, I'm fairly surprised at that top 50 list. I own none of those albums.

My stated doctrine is that I only engage in second-strike nitpicking, with certain rogue commenters (molfson) taken to be permanently in violation of the cease-fire.

I don't actually conform to this doctrine very well.
