Yayyy! Going right into my bookmark file . . .

My first thought.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.

Halcyon days indeed.

Note to Charlie: It means I’m overjoyed.

Yaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!

And I must have had a premonition: just today I was going to comment that we had not see our paladin–I figured he had buffed up and was doing the iron chef finals in sushi preparation. Gasp

a blog! you go, sir. And consider it bookmarked.

Jan 30, 2005 - 2:32 pm 5. richard mcenroe:

I’m not sure Ward Churchill actually has a Ph.D….

Welcome to the blogoverse!

It’s a fake.

No feather boa.

No vat of lime jello.

No cattle prod.

No thigh high leather boots with 13″ stiletto heels.

No tribute to Ethyl & Buddy.

And DtP with no comments section?

Dennis is such a devil.

But it takes nerve to do this. Someone suggested I do somthing like that but I am too shy.

really.

but not Dennis the menace. he is fearless.

Dammit. No comment section to troll in.

Mr. Simon,

Great site and we included your blog in our coverage of the Iraqi election. We are really glad you are speaking up!!!

We completely abandoned the US and European media in our coverage of the Iraqi election and used the internet and the blogosphere and it worked BEAUTIFULLY!

Go check it out, we are leaving it up so that all of our GOP elected officials in Texas — ( which is EVERY STATEWIDE OFFICE and supermajorities in the Texas Senate and Texas House, the Texas courts, and Texas elected officials in general) — as well as President Bush can look at it!

Here’s the link, and thanks again for SPEAKING OUT! We are permanently adding your blog site to our recommended list!!

Thanks everyone.

It’s been a bit of a day. I e-mailed Roger that the site was up, and seeing as he is a kind-hearted soul, I sort of expected he’d mention it. But Glenn Reynolds? I assumed he didn’t know me from a potted plant.

Just to let you know…

At some point I will enable comments, but not quite yet. I have to kind of find my way through writing posts, which is real different (at least to me) from writing comments. The other problem is that I love commenting, so I’m afraid I’d end up spending all my time on writing little smart-ass snarks, thereby depriving you all of the deep, philosophical musings of my more intellectual and serious side.

Nobody’d foregive me for that.

Dennis,

You mentioned Ward Churchill’s pot belly,but he doesn’t have anything to hang it on a bit of a scrawnee.

Personally I’m waiting for the bolt on the AK to take his right thumb off.Ph.D or Phut?

If you can’t have comments can you leave us somewhere to finger paint?

Jan 30, 2005 - 3:40 pm 12. richard mcenroe:

PeterUK ó We can fingerprint at DU. They just erase us anyway.

Jan 30, 2005 - 3:43 pm 13. JB:

Well, it’s about time!

Roger’s site has by far the best commenters in the blogosphere, so this was inevitable. May others follow.

Can’t wait for DtP to take on John Kerry’s magic Cambodian hat, which resurfaced on Meet the Press earlier today. From the transcript:

SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, “I’m the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia.” We went out of Ha Tien, which is right in Vietnam. We went north up into the border. And I have some photographs of that, and that’s what we did. So, you know, the two were jumbled together, but we were on the Cambodian border on Christmas Eve, absolutely.

Yeah, right, the CIA was in the habit of delivering weapons to the KR in 1968.

Jan 30, 2005 - 4:40 pm 15. Rick Ballard:

DtP,

As long as Commandante MarKo$ and Prof. Wonkol continue to generate stupidaggine you will not lack for subject matter. You do need at least a feather boa somewhere on the title page though.

Jan 30, 2005 - 4:52 pm 16. ambisinistral:

What struck me even funnier about Kerry’s latest… um… “memory” is that he traveled upriver from Vietnam to get to the Cambodian coast. Hmmm… maybe he just misread his compass and confused a coastal USO show for a Khmer Rouge camp.

Jan 30, 2005 - 4:57 pm 17. Terrye:

I saw Kerry today speaking outside somewhere.

I hate to be unkind but the man looked like he had been embalmed.

DtP

ìThe other problem is that I love commenting, so I’m afraid I’d end up spending all my time on writing little smart-ass snarks, (..)

Well, as long as you keep commenting at Simonís place you will be forgiven for taking time off and posting ìthe deep, philosophical musings of my more intellectual and serious sideî on your blog.

Jan 30, 2005 - 5:36 pm 19. Syl:

Bookmarked! Not only that, it’s added to my startup page in IE! So every time I open my browser there are Roger, Glenn, Wretchard, Diplomad, Betsy, Tim, LGF, and DtP!!!!!! staring at me and daring me to click!

Jan 30, 2005 - 5:41 pm 20. notthisgirl:

Could this be Allahpundit? I miss him!

Jan 30, 2005 - 6:28 pm 21. notthisgirl:

And it’s cool that another reader has almost exactly the same blog bookmarks as I do! I wonder if many of us have the same ones …

Mine are Roger, Belgravia, PowerLine, Captains Quarters, Dean Esmay, LGF, Instapundit, IN-DC, Belmont Club, and Lileks.

Jan 30, 2005 - 6:33 pm 22. richard mcenroe:

Dennis ó The UC(olorado) Regents are reviewing Churchill’s garbage…

Jan 30, 2005 - 6:55 pm 23. VietPundit:

Hi, Roger and everybody.

I’m a regular reader of this blog, and like the commenters a lot. (I’ve never commented, though). I just started a blog too, at http://vietpundit.blogspot.com/. Could I plug my blog here? Thanks!

syl and notthisgirl

To your list I would add Hugh Hewitt…

DtP:

Unless I missed it, you neglected an opportunity to comment on Ward Churchill’s most brilliant statement:

He [Churchill] said although the victims [of the 9/11 attacks on the WTC] were civilians they were not innocent. He went on to describe the World Trade Center victims as “little Eichmanns,” a reference to Adolf Eichmann, who organized Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s plan to exterminate Europe’s Jews.

I mean, this person is a tenured academic?!

But Dennis, I love your writing! I will bookmark you, too.

DtP,

Two things. First, congratulations on your blog. It goes on my Top 10 list immediately and I don’t change that without serious consideration (you displaced RedState.org). Second, how long am I gonna have to do your dirty work for you? Ward Churchill does not hold a PhD. Catherine, of course, does. I’m waiting patiently, BTW, for our esteemed Catherine to show up as a featured blogress on one of the better education oriented websites.

Jan 31, 2005 - 9:40 am 26. WichitaBoy:

Dennis,

I couldn’t log in yesterday so belated congratulations on your blog. It’s a joy to read.

Jamie Irons, good to see you.

Syl, you too. We missed you for a while.

Ward has resigned from the chair and is now the college stool.
