I got a mention from Crooks & Liars - thanks to TenGrain at Mock Paper Scissors.

Many thanks to tengrain at MockPaperScissors for putting eVilleTimes in the mentions at Crooks & Liars 

That spun me up to several times what my usual traffic is for 3 days runnin'.

Now, if I could just get those pesky Russians to lay off - makes me a little nervous to think I'm attracting the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people.

Yeah, there's a bit of self-congratulating to be done here, but I think the real point is that I tweeted about wanting to take down Brett Kavanaugh, and the thing kinda blew up.

First of course - I know the response is not exactly monumental, but it's pretty damned great for a putzy little nobody like me.

Second though, it's not just the number of people who jumped on it - they retweeted it and they liked the fuck out of it - which is, in itself, gratifying and all - but the thing I've noticed is that most of the people doing the liking and the retweeting are women - like a huge percentage of them are women.

So maybe I don't get to draw big conclusions just from that, but I can't help but think there's a boatload of women out there in Voterland who're still very much engaged, and still pretty fucking mad about what's been happening.

And maybe they're willing to save our dumb asses one more time.

Boom - got mentioned at Crooks & Liars again.

I've been trying to get a consistency across my media platforms (and I already don't even like that I just said that, but oh well), and I haven't always posted the same stuff at every site.

So if you really need ya some more Mike (and of course you do - why would you not?), just hit me up some time.

@SpeakerRyan Due respect, Mr Speaker - blow it out your ass. Publicizing your venal disregard for public safety is legit, and you know it.

About the best thing a blogger can hope for is getting mentioned (and linked to) by people he respects.

Thanks, Crooks & Liars - and special thanks to Tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors

Oh, Clever Me

Nothing like a little shameless self-promotion to get me goin' early in the mornin'.

I noticed my traffic numbers went way up for yesterday, and I tho't it must be another  Russian Phishing expedition - or maybe the Gold Line spammers are at it again.  

But wow - my silly little blog got a mention at Crooks and Liars!?!  

Must've been a really slow day for 'em over there, but hey - thanks, guys.

Thank You, Firebrand

Wow.  I'm just so impressed with my own bad self right now, I cain't hardly stand it.  Thanks, guys.
