Floridians Have Been Warned

Funny. Andrew Sullivan vacates, & three or four elves fill in for him; Megan goes on spring break for Labor Day (?) and not a substitute elf, over-grown or not, to be seen!


Not complaining in the least, of course. Everyone here can always use a break from obsessive stalking. And McArdle's recent output indicates she needs a leave of absence from herself, & those awful crazy lefties that she just can't talk to any more.

She picked a good time to go out of town.

Fuck, we spoke too soon.

Susan of Texas said...

I can't believe it. Truly, I cannot believe it.

On a side note, the reason I said 80% was a hypothetical in the Washington Post chat is that . . . well, I didn't. I forgot that conversation, and thought the commenter was referring to this post. These are the perils of typing thousands of words a week, and also, of getting old.

Now that's nerve. Yglesias, TNR, DeLong, and Eschaton all link to the posts on McArdle and her guesswork, and she simply says, "No I didn't."

Is there a more pathetic blog than a Sully-less Daily Dish? Well, yes, Megan's. But still. I don't give a what about anything Patrick Appel has to link to.

Megan may be workingon her vacation, but I'm sure as fuck not. Someone else can post about the "I was wrong but it's notmyfault post"

spencer said...

Thanks for the warning. As if this state isn't already fucked enough.

We have a Florida reader? That's at least 3 corners! Anyone in the northwest? That way, I can put pins in LA, NY, FL and uh Seattle I guess, and then draw a line around it and then color everything inside it dark black and then point at it and say "THAT is a map of my blog readers, why do you ask?" Oh, but I'll take the pins out before I say that.

Then people will be like "wow, you are king of the internet" and then I'll make them take that back.

I'll cover this crap in my version of morning tomorrow, meaning by tomorrow night.

Portland here (well, suburban Beaverton)...not quite Redmond,
but Phil Knight (Nike) is every bit the jackanapes that Bill Gates is.

Pin it, Nutella!

Yuppers said...

I'm in Seattle, so go ahead and expand that circle a bit more.

NutellaonToast said...

FUCK YEAH! We rule Amerika!

midwest shout out! We don't know what the f**k is going on with you folks on the coasts.

arguingwithsignposts said...

also, she says she's on vacation and wasn't going to talk about health care anymore. She's blogging and talking about healthcare. will the lies never cease.

NutellaonToast said...

Yes they will (lie)

Susan of Texas said...

She's still churning out posts, on a Saturday while she's on vacation at the beach, no less. Amazing. And providing cites on what she says. Although she's not too happy about it.

But I'm sure that to reform proponents, I just sound like one of the nattering nabobs of negativism.

bulbul said...

Nutella, seriously? You're gonna go all koo-koo over some /insert stereotype here/ Floridians and /insert something about coffee and rain here/ Seattlites (no offense, btw)? What about us here at Best Shore Operations (formerly known as Global Operations)?

brad said...

I want to know who our dedicated Israeli reader is, myself.
Speak up, *insert proper yiddish word here*.

NutellaonToast said...

I think the proper Yiddish word is "nosh"

minachica said...

Madison WI here (if you have any more pins).

Keep up the good work - it helps my blood pressure!

I don't really like talking about numbers, but just to share, in roughly the last 24 hrs there are 12+ countries, the + being unknowns, and 29 states, counting DC, that have visited.
