Been working on updating my links at left — a long-postponed labor of tedium — and in the course of doing so, I’ve been asking some fellow bloggers to stand forth and be recognized. That’s ostensibly so that I can quote them on occasion in the blog roundup we run in the paper on Mondays (we exclude anonymous blogs from that, although eponymous ones are OK), but it’s also a sort of general-principles thing with me. Anonymity is OK for Zorro, but unless you can write a quick Z with an épée, I think you should be willing to stand behind your work, Don Diego.
Anyway, here are our two latest stand-up guys:
- Michael Miller owned up to being the "Mike" behind Mike’s America.
- The Rev. Deacon Timothy Mark Ervolina stood all the way up, with full name and title, as the author of Sacraments Wholesale.
That’s two up, one down, as "not very bright" was at least sufficiently cunning to keep his mask on. I gave him a link anyway, since he sort of halfway keeps the thing up to date.
Still eyeing some others with healthy suspicion.
By the way, let me know if there are well-maintained S.C. blogs I don’t link to that you think I should, or if you have clues to the identities of some of these masked marauders out there.
Thanks Brad. Though the last time I was called a “stand up guy” it was from a left wing Bush hating art dealer in Seattle who commented at my blog.
Also, I’d like to see SC blogs disclose whether they have any official or unofficial ties to candidates, especially the 2008 presidential candidates. I guess we’ve all gotten pretty good at reading between the lines, but full disclosure should be the rule.
And along those lines, I declare that I have no official or unofficial ties to any of the 2008 GOP presidential hopefuls. And I do not work or accept money from any individual, business or other entity with any affiliation with GOP candidates.
If that changes, I will be only too pleased to let everyone know.
Thanks, Brad for outing me. Now I have to quit cussing on my blog.
