We Are Feeling Extremely Honored Right Now

...because we finally noticed that we are one of the Essential Reads over at Rook's Rant. Worth more than a Koufax in this neck of the woods (at least until we get some sort of recognition from the mighty and powerful Wampum). Rook (aka Guy Andrew Hall) has been on a tear lately about the corruption of the big boys in the Fahionable Left Bank of Blogistan by corpo-weasels. And he has a valid point - if you start to become beholden to corporate interests, whatever they may be, you start to change your attitude in order to stay in their good graces. For that matter, we have managed to bite our tongue, and remove all of our Putsch bashing cartoons and articles, from our work zone since pRezNit 100,000 Dead stole the last election. Considering the hostility and retribution against some bloggers for merely posting candid photographs* from their place of business, we think we can't be too careful these days**. Especially considering the nose-tweaking we have done (in our own small corner of the blogsphere) to some of the more rabid wrongwingnut sites of late. but as we discussed recently, we aren't quite sure how we should handle this situation - we're really not all that interested in making waves (especially considering how many closed minds will refuse to listen to anything we might have to say), but we're not going to let Republics exploit our good nature any more either.

Anyhoo,... we're sure that some day soon we will find a way to resolve the conflicting demands on our psyche. In the meantime, you're just going to have to deal with posts like this that start out with us puffed up with pride, and end up with our angst over dealing with the horns of a dilemma in our everyday life***. Hopefully there will be enough mind candy strewn within our meaunderings to infotain you enough to keep coming back...

* - snap, snap, grin, grin, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more! Know what I mean, squire?

** - but then we go ahead and be reckless anyways. Go figure!

*** - as well as our penchant for mixed metaphors, obscure references to ancient well-worn hand-tooled classical comedy bits, and many things unfamiliar to the average bear. And our use of the royal "we" when we write about life, the universe, and everything here...

You're still a pathetic loser, Tom.

Such clear reasoning skills! Combined with amazingly insightful commentary, and no trace of any sort of personal attack (which would have no point in any sort of serious discussion, of course) in your awesome comment to this post! I bow before the incredible comment you took so much time and effort to leave here. Thanks for showing the dozens who come by a fantastic example of Republic reasoning...
