Fixing Oversights

After a couple days' thought, I realize that I left two glaring omissions from my Blogs I Read Every Day list on Friday. But I blame technology for one of them.

My list was of blogs I read on my computer, via a web browser, every day. I neglected to note that I do in fact read "Bogus" Doug Williams' Bogus Gold every day - but I have it ported directly to my cell phone. That way I can read every post as it is published.

Also among my daily reads are both of Eva Young's blogs, Dump Bachmann and her personal (and yet group) blog.

While I have in the past castigated Eva for having the ethics of a used-car salesman, there are three things to admire about Eva:

1. She never, ever misses the point of a joke. When someone tells a joke, she never treats it with breathless, frothing solemnity. Never.
2. She never takes herself too seriously. When a wave of commenters on this and other blogs lampooned her rigorous abstinence from link-whoring, her adamant refusal to copy and paste entire articles and comment sections from other blogs as a substitute for writing original material, and her impeccable command of English spelling in satirical comments under her name, she had a good laugh and moved on.
3. She never resorts to infantile name calling - and never repeats it, over and over and over again! Because she knows - indeed, lives the true essence of humor.
4. And of course, her "Dump Bachmann" blog is perhaps the best, most ingenious "black" parody campaign tool in history, perhaps the best money Michele Bachmann ever spent. I'm sure half of the Sixth District has looked at the crowd of semi-literates, dork-fingered wankers and logorrheacs who "contribute" to "Dump Bachmann", and recoiled at the thought of being associated with them by opposing Bachmann. Can you say "Congresswoman Bachmann"? I think so - and you can thank Eva and the poor schlubs she's duped into helping the Senator in this fiendishly clever plot.

Whoah! That's four things!

For those reasons, I must confess - if I were to find out that Ms. Young didn't read my blog daily, I would commit seppuku.

Anyway - I read both of these blogs every single day.

(OK, no. I do read Doug several times a week though - especially during tomato season. Or as he'd say lately, "F*cking tomato season)
