Spamism
Mar 2, 2010 Blogophilia, Jocularity
Is that the name of the language of comment spam, spoken in some weird world? Check this out, plucked out of the comments waiting for approval on my other blog:
I scanned sites on like topic, but never saw your blog. I summed it to dearies and i’ll regular reader.
I love the “dearies” part. I would love it if somewhat would tell me what radio station or remote ham radio broadcast these people are listening to in their attempts to simulate our language.
“Summed it to dearies”! That is rich.
Five years of blogging
Jan 4, 2010 Blogophilia, Narcissus Rex
Yep, it’s five years since I changed history, and the very course of human evolution itself, with the launch of the LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION® blog.
Does it ever feel as if I work for the blog, rather than the blog for me?
Yes.
But in fact this is the way of everything that is worthwhile.
It has been worthwhile.
Will it always be? Would I blog about law at all if it didn’t do great things for my practice?
I don’t know.
But five years in, it seems, so far, to have been time well spent.
This is Chanukah!
Dec 11, 2009 Blogophilia, Heart and spirit
Tonight, that is — it’s the first night of Chanukah. That means that I’m going to be hosting the annual Blawg Review next Monday, at LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION® (here’s last year’s).
Just a heads-up.
Snapped Shot is back!

We do too have live, fat cows in Peoples' Paradise!
Ever notice how some “news” photographs look … fishy?
Me neither. But Brian Ledbetter, thank God, has time on his hands. And some things, he demonstrates on his reborn Snapped Shot blog, just don’t add up, you know?

NEW JERSEY BLOGGER was on FBI payroll.
Man, why does everyone else always get on stuff like that?
Hey — forget threatening federal judges! I wonder if he’s going to get in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission!
Bombs and Dollars and All-American Bloggers!
Nov 25, 2009 Blogophilia, Narcissus Rex, Social networking
I have really been so unhappy with political blogging lately, and busy and otherwise engaged, that I can use all these reasons as an excuse for why I hadn’t known about a blog called Bombs and Dollars until this:
As a resource to my readers and others who are interested in exploring new blogs, I have assembled my personal list of my favorite conservative blogs. I took a lot of factors into consideration, including: influence, entertainment value, information-value, frequency and regularity of updates, and personal interest.
These are my own rankings of blogs that I follow, and I know I missed some, so I apologize for those I missed, but I did the best I could.
Which is all one can ask. One-hundred and thirty-three of them, to be exact! This is not newsworthy at all, of course, unless you are already a fan of Bombs and Dollars (whose subtitle is, “America’s Top Exports” — very much in line with this recent post of mine, actually!) or, of course, you are one of those 133 lucky bloggers! Which I am. In fact I am number 90! So he didn’t have to go up to 133 at all.
Now I still wouldn’t have known this, except for this link from another blog I should have known about called All American Blogger:
I received an e-mail from Mitchell Blatt from Bombs and Dollars that read:
just wanted to let you know that your blog ranks on my list of the top 133 conservative blogs
Hmm. I don’t know why I didn’t see that link in the first place, and I also don’t know why I didn’t see that email from Mitchell Blatt, except that maybe he stopped at 85, or 89. But I am grateful for the notice, especially considering how slack it’s been around here, and I thank Mitchell for perhaps incentivizing me a bit, and that’s one more reason to be thankful, I guess, on this Thanksgiving eve!
