One reason I don’t go to blogger get togethers

Well, I know of one blogger “get together” you should be at, #9…

The same, though john h would probably disagree, coffee klatch of people self-referentially linking to the each other. The same buddy network who never tread into unfamiliar territory.

One reason I don’t go to blogger get togethers. Buddy systems lead to the mundane blandness of nothingness. When everyone shares the same ideas it becomes an echo chamber. Like KnoxViews. But that is the liberal/progressive dream. No ideas from outside the pack.

For the last month it’s just been a circle jerk. The same, though john h would probably disagree, coffee klatch of people self-referentially linking to the each other. The same buddy network who never tread into unfamiliar territory.

It’s boring and old. I like ideas, shit-stirring, and long walks on the beach. Admittedly, I haven’t checked the sandbar that the NiT whale beached itself on in about a week. And am not missing it.

Everybody seems to be walking on eggshells.

You can hear a pin drop at NIT. It is quieter than Mayberry at 10:00 PM on a Wednesday night.

That would be the Link TV – Channel 375.

As long as DirecTV contains a channel for Code Pink talking points to satisfy my apparent craving for such, I can live with the property value downturn. These developers with their pricey duplexes need to be taught a lesson.

Just for that, I’m going to wallpaper “Salemtown” with ads for Free DirecTV receivers that people will install on their front porches and drive down your blessed property values.

All this angst about the demise of a blogroll is amazing. It is as if the AV club in high school lost it’s sponsor and now the people with pocket protectors have to find a new nerd to lead them.

Let it go people. It is done. Find another home for your recitation of Code Pink talking points.

I couldn’t really say Donna. I was always a comment slut, myself. Casting pearls to swine for free.

Until one day, a guy in his bloggy van held some candy out the window and asked me to comment in front of a bigger audience.

How much should I charge as a commenter at large?
