Finally, I am Internet-famous!

Bumped into my neighbor a short while ago, and he referred me to the Google Maps street view of our mutual address. Screenshot below. Click it to big it.

So. Not actually ALL bad.

Kids, try to live your life so that you never have to ... breathe a sigh of relief? ... when seeing your name in the paper, in a sentence like this.

Mr. Abramoff, who was convicted of defrauding lenders in the deal but was not thought by prosecutors to have had a hand in the Boulis murder, ...

Yeah, that Jack.

Meanwhile, the Times is apparently amazed that New York-based mobsters have interests in Florida.

All together now!    No one could have predicted ...

And we would have succeeded, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids

Just passed 200k likes on Facebook.on.fb.me/5GZrQF So much for the progressive left's efforts to silence black Conservatives...

Sinking ship to squeaky rat: GTFO

In case you haven't heard, FoxNews made He®self a contract renewal offer that even she was able to refuse.

Kill me now

Had the remote control in hand and everything, ready to turn off the teevee for the night.

But just five seconds too slow to avoid the commercial wherein the lamest of the lame identifies himself as Jack Reacher.

As Jack Reacher.

You didn't need the money that bad, "Lee Child." And you're for sure not getting any more of mine.

At least she hasn't posted on Salon in over a year

I predict her downward spiral will continue until she lands a part-time gig as Ann Althouse's guest blogger.

One good result from redistricting

Now, speaking of District Sixes, people of Minnesota, may I have your attention please . . .

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, Bloggingheads ...

Presuming that at least one of them (Conn, for sure) thinks "yes!!!1!," I can only say, what, have we given up on Our Savior already?

Shocking news

In case you hadn't heard, this happened, again:

See Jay Bookman for details.

Glad we cleared that up

"UPDATE: Coulter later clarified her comments via Twitter …"

Sadly, it got bleeped.

Are the fifteen minutes at long last over? You betcha!

As my boy Cartman would say, sweeeet:

Didn’t You Used To Be Somebody?

Welp, there goes the Christmas bundling deal

Looks like the next phase of soaking the True Believers has hit a wall, reports Jack, in the Comments under the post on altruism.

And they could have made such sweet coin together.

Ding Dong

Apparently, all of Michele Bachmann's paid New Hampshire campaign staffers have quit. Go Lexington! On Concord! (?)

While looking for news of that after seeing it mentioned on Twitter, I came across an even more delicious headline:

Michele Bachmann ignored by S.F. protesters

If you listen closely, you can hear a foot stomping on a porch in Alaska ...

... from which He®self may or may not be able to see Russia, but she certainly can see one thing: plummeting media interest!

Nate 538 Silver (via Ken Layne), in a post about the fluctuating attention being drawn by all the great GOP candidates for preznit, reports (emph. added):

In contrast to four years ago, however, when the relative amount of media coverage was fairly steady throughout the campaign, there have already been some dramatic shifts this year. Sarah Palin’s potential candidacy, for instance, is only receiving about one-fifth as much attention as it did several months ago.

[...]

During the month of November 2010, Ms. Palin’s name retrieved 777 hits, according to this technique. That represented just over half of the 1,533 citations for all 23 candidates combined.

So far this month, however, Ms. Palin has accounted for just 124 hits out of 1,090 total, or roughly 11 percent. [...]

[...]

The decline in media coverage for Ms. Palin tracks with a decline in her polling numbers. Whereas she was pulling between 15 and 20 percent of the Republican primary vote in polls conducted several months ago, she’s down to about 10 percent in most surveys now.

On a closely related note, it appears panic is spreading to the staff (via TBogg):

Team Palin Demands The Media Give Them Something To Complain About

Take heart, Mickey Kaus! It could be worse! Not much, but some!

Kickin' off Oldies Weekend?

Just read Substance McGravitas on Orly Taitz, right after reading Roger Ailes on Kenneth Gladney.

You know the rule: one more and it's a trend!

But will it be more engrossing than "Breaking Bonaduce?"

Rachel Slajda/TPM passes along a report that Ted Haggard will be starring in a "reality" teevee "special" on Thesarah paLin Channel.

It is unclear whether the show's title will be "Ted's New Methage." Also not known: whether Mike Jones will appear.

No, Joe. The Sarah Palin glasses won't do it, either.

Remember, those are the style of a failed politician.

Oh. You mean you didn't know that as of Wednesday afternoon, non-Lower-48 time, Palin protegé Joe Miller still hasn't admitted he lost that election?

The Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled unanimously on all counts against Joe Miller’s challenge of last month’s U.S. Senate election, saying Miller’s interpretation of the law would erode the integrity of Alaska’s election system.

“There are no remaining issues raised by Miller that prevent this election from being certified,” the Supreme Court justices declared in their 24-page ruling.

[...]

Miller didn’t agree to an interview after the Supreme Court ruling but e-mailed a statement saying he was weighing what his next move will be.

[...]

Miller has been challenging the results of the Nov. 2 election with the help of money from South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint’s political action committee, the Senate Conservatives Fund. Miller’s campaign spokesman has said they might attempt to take the fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Murkowski campaign manager Kevin Sweeney said he was elated by the Supreme Court ruling and expects Beistline will let the election results be certified next week. “We also anticipate that Joe will continue to pursue his baseless claims in federal court until his money runs out,” Sweeney said.

Only Because There Is No Orly Taitz News

Apparently, the phrase "I Am Kenneth Gladney" is no longer operative.

Does anyone besides Andrew "EPIC FLAIL" Breitbart even know who he is anymore?
