Glitch in the matrix

Hi again, everyone.  Well, that was weird!  (For those of you who didn’t stop by between 7 am and 4 pm today, I should explain that this blog lost every single one of its posts since November 3 and had to have blog CPR administered by the geniuses at pMachine.  Coincidence-- or the work of my nefarious political enemies?  Hmmm, probably coincidence.) Clearly 2005 is shaping up to be the Year of Spectacular Data Loss and Retrieval.  Anyway, my American Street post on moon-bats and wing-nuts is here, and as soon as we can get Expression Engine’s “file upload” function to realize that the images I’m uploading do indeed have data in them, regular posting-- now with images!-- will resume.

  1. Well, that means I won’t have to resort to reading The Corner after all…

  2. Good job on gettin’ everything back up.  I know how frustrating that can be!

    In getting right back into it, I’ve taken your suggestions about a distinct and nefarious kind of “juxtaposition” and even added a blog to document the atrocities below my very clearly laid-out NETWORK.

    Thoughts?

  4. Hey man, thanks for whoring my blog on The Street! I owe you a beer!

  5. I suppose you Neo-Bolsheviks should thank the good people at pMachine with a hearty “Well grubbed, old mole!”

  6. Yah, yah, good coverup, Berube! I know you were just trying to get rid of my snarky comments and accidentally deleted more than that. We’re not fooled! [/paranoiac in the vein of Rob-not-Roy]

  7. God, I hope none of my brilliant comments were destroyed in the mishap.  Think of the loss to future generations…

  8. When Literature profs don leather attitudes & jackets, almost anything can happen.  Data loss is probably the most benign effect.

  9. NTodd, we may need to watch future MLA presentations for any suspiciously familiar language.

    Fortunately, typos function as copyright traps.

  10. My comments nver have typoesl, so I guess I’m SOL.

  12. I love the discussion of “neo-Bolshevism” but I am distracted by the photograph. Dude, you bought that jacket off of some guy sleeping on a tunnel grate for a sawbuck and bottle of Mad Dog 20-20, right?
