Remember this picture of my brother’s cat?

Well, look up in your address bar. (The part of the browser that starts with “http://”.) Yes, I made it into a favicon.

Via JJ, I ran my blog through something called “The Typealyzer,” and, well…this was the result:

ISTJ — The Duty Fulfillers

The responsible and hardworking type. They are especially attuned to the details of life and are careful about getting the facts right. Conservative by nature they are often reluctant to take any risks whatsoever.

The Duty Fulfillers are happy to be let alone and to be able to work in their own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.

I blame this post…

I’m posting this from my laptop because the hard drive on my desktop bought the farm just a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, as is typical for me, I hadn’t backed up my data in a loooooong-ass time, and the initial diagnosis suggests that any data on afflicted hard drive will be very difficult to recover, if it’s at all possible.

While much of the data on there is of personal import, I don’t think it’s anything I can’t live without. Besides, a fair bit of it was there from the last time I backed up my computer.

Ain’t modern technology grand?

I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from blogging for a while. Economic circumstances and the need to preserve my sanity after the health insurance reform fight dictate it. I’ll probably still blog major happenings, but that’s it. Though with my luck, a major Texas liberal will choose that moment to kick the bucket.

Play me off, Keyboard Cat.

In response to this:

Canada is developing an all-Party enquiry into antisemitism. Watch here for further updates http://www.cpcca.ca/home.htm

I wrote this:

@BMFCJC Will this be like those HRCs you far right loons always whine about, or just good old-fashioned McCarthyism?

Note that it goes to his main Twitter status page, not the tweet in question.

It gets better. Realizing my error, I then tweeted this:

First Tweet: Epic FAIL… I was responding to this:http://twitter.com/BMFCJC/status/2690089508

It would appear that I have much to learn about the ways of tweeting…

Well, my resistance finally broke down. I’m on Twitter.

So, yeah…

Look, WaPo, I know that money’s tight and all, what with circulation being down — that’s what happens when you fire legit journalists in favor of Dick Whisperers and curmudgeonly psychiatrists — but that’s no excuse for pimping out your ever-shrinking stable of honest reporters and their government contacts to special interest groups whose aim is to spike the president’s most progressive policy proposals.

And in other news, bloggers can’t be trusted because they sometimes use foul language. And link to Wikipedia. Or so I’ve heard.

“Ethics” and Public Policy Center President and Bush torture enabler M. Edward Whelan III.

TBogg, en fuego as always:

I can’t seem to recall a time when the Village Idiots Wise Men’s Club required a Republican to have a Sister Souljah moment. It seems to be reserved for centrists who are supposed to avail themselves of the opportunity to move central-er by which the Villagers mean “to the right”.

David Ignatius apparently picked it up from Richard Cohen like so much swine flu.

Brit Hume blames bloggers for what he himself freely admits doing on a regular basis during his time with Fux Propaganda at Brent Bozo’s Bitchfest.
