Shout-out to my new blogging peeps

I'm very happy to welcome St. Scobie of St. Scobie's Mock Whiskey and Pooplatter of Poo Poo Platter to the world of blogging*! I am very flattered by Scobie's claim that her blog came about by accident in an attempt to post on my blog, although I suspect that this is a ruse that her subconscious concocted in order to let her inner blogger burst forth. I particularly liked her discussion of how Bush should reveal his nominee:

How will the nominee be revealed?

Good question. Brook thinks GWB should put the nominee under a heavy black cloth and then, right as he says his/her name, whisk the cloth off, revealing the nominee.

For me, I sort of imagine him being really gushing and silly, saying “I just hope the American people are as crazy about (him/her) as I am!” and then lofting the nominee’s hand high above their heads in victory.

Both of these ideas were definitely superior to by-the-book approach Bush actually chose, which was: let the new guy wear the red tie, try unsuccesfully to suppress smirk, refer to his "heart."

Pooplatter's Special Purpose (if you haven't seen The Jerk with Steve Martin, you really should)is clearly pasting the heads of political figures on other bodies, as such:

So anyway, welcome, darlings! You bring a little ray of light to my otherwise dark and annoying day. :)

* I would say "blogosphere," but really I don't feel like a member of such a place (e-place?), since something with "osphere" in its title sounds like a huge world full of varied, interdependent species, whereas I pretty much just write about TomKat, and sometimes judicial nominations, and link to Wonkette. I think it's more accurate to say T&A resides in a blog-o-diorama. So, welcome to that.
