Hamsters Run Wild

You are someone who's widely regarded as obsessive to the point of nonsensical.

You run a single-issue blog on a "divisive" political "issue".

You've surrounded yourself with puerile intellectual also-rans who are deeply - and misguidedly - in love with their own meager talents.

Your blog has trafficked in hallucination, ad-hominem, shoddy reporting and innuendo from day one - a natural byproduct of your convenient, self-indulgent sense of ethics.

The blogospheric audience - being party to an intensely meritocratic system - is ignoring you in droves.

What to do?

Write breathless, giggly stories full of false, specious or misleading claims about other, higher-volume bloggers, in hopes of boosting your anemic traffic.

You know - bloggers who didn't piddle their credibility away behind some bushes. The ones that didn't dress their sense of ethics up in a Nazi uniform for yuks.

Good luck with that.

That is all.

I've posted AC's words above verbatim to a random, moderately hi-traffic lefty blog. We'll see if anyone over there notices that the "comment" has nothing at all to do with the post or the comment thread.
The purpose of this experiment is to determine (to a first order probability) whether or not AC's comment contained any information. I'll report the results on this thread later today. It's fun! It's not science, but it's _like_ science!

I've posted the phone number for Terry's mother in the angry circus performers' men's room. It was already there.

Which blog was this post referring to?

Uh, Terry, I think Angry Clown has taken you in with another one of his stolen "gags." See http://www.bovious.com/archives/main/121989.jpg

Damn! And I fell for it! He otta change his name to "clever clown".
The results of my AC posting experiment are:
There were ten comments posted after I stuck that quote in a thread at Oliver Willis's blog. None of them refered to my bogus comment, even to mention it was off-topic. Now that I know the real source of the comment (thanks Brian!) I figure it must be because it went over their heads.

Heh, if AssClown wrote anything in any public bathrooms look for some really shakey scribbling about 2" above the baseboard....

That's about as high as he could reach while in the prone position.

Swiftee, we've missed you and your sledgehammer wit!

Congratulations, by the way! I hear you've been allowed to take down that state-mandated lawn sign after all these years. I'm confident you can stay out of trouble. Just keep up the blogging during school hours and remember to drink yourself into a coma on Halloween.

Sounds like Daily Kos to me....
