Congratulations!
Rusty and Bill stepped up to the plate today and took link & traffic whoring to a new level.
We humble LLamas bow down before your blogging genius! And we are also humbly relieved that Bill didn't decide that today was the day to reopen Orglegate!
Way to go guys!
Remember: we'll trade Talon News for 60 Minutes, the New York Times, and CNN any time!
(I just noticed I used three exclamation points---I must have been a staff writer for the North Korea Daily People's Lice Turds Gazette & Intelligencer in a previous life)
Yips! from Robbo: I think I just may have to call this "Tony B"/Monkyfister guy out. "INDCent Bill" is my beyotch!
YIPS from Steve: Or, at the very minimum, our Boo-Boo Bear.
Posted by Steve at February 15, 2005 10:38 PMHow did I traffic whore? I just post, man.
Check out the numbers on an Instalanche and the residuals on an Atrios-lanche:
Last Hour 1,060
Today 21,998
Of course, that just would have been a good day prior to the election, but ...
the link whoring was more of what Rusty was doing (and by setting up the fake atrios escort thing completely redefined the concept of link whoring). what you did was a work of sublime traffic whoring, and I bow down before your skill.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at February 16, 2005 09:11 AMYeah, but I'm starting to get a little edgy what with Howard issuing his papal bull authorizing the hatred of evil republicans, and with blood pressure going past boiling with the take down of eason jordan, that the kos/o-dub crowd is going to go after a right-blogger in a sort of show-up at your place of residence/stalk your kids/try to get you arrested for internet porn sort of way. I wouldn't put it past them at this point to do some "by any means necessary" sort of stuff which I think is going to end up with someone dead.
Just my rosy thought for the day.
BTW, your Han Solo/Chewbaca/lesbians making out photoshop was the summum bonum that Hobbes claimed was not possible. I want to do a longer piece on that later. Of course, by the same measure, that's what made Bill's Helen Thomas pshop by the ultimate summum malum.
After yesterday, I'm basically retiring my copy of pshop---there are no more worlds to conquer after that.
