Re: The Crash of Shot In The Dark<\/p>\n

Sincere apologies for the recent lack of continuity our site has experienced of late. As I learned from my time in radio, dead air (and inside jokes by the way, but I digress) is a mortal sin as much in this medium as it is in radio.<\/p>\n

We have made great progress in restoring the site to its retro look however the “post author” function is still busted.<\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to confess a couple things under cover of this period of anonymity.<\/p>\n

First off, there have been many rumors that our high readership and decidedly conservative stance put Shot In The Dark on par with Fox News. As it were, Blogga Non Grata. The buzz was that our site was taken down by operatives of the Obama administration. This is only partially<\/em> true.<\/p>\n

Truth is, I was watching Robert Gibbs lie through his teeth on YouTube and as I reacted with my signature “up in arms” gesture, I spilled coffee on my keyboard. As I was cleaning up after myself, I pushed “Ctrl Alt Del” which took the whole damn site down. My bad. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I want to confess that I wear women’s clothing. A lot. Mostly in the privacy of my home. Sometimes not. I like the feel of silk as it tickles my hairy legs. I am really excited about Nicole Ritchie’s new “Winter Kate<\/a>” line.<\/p>\n

And lastly, I spend much of my spare time watching Mary Tyler More<\/em><\/a> and Rhoda<\/em><\/a> reruns on Hulu. Cloris Leachman<\/a> was so hot back then – but even moreso: Ed Asner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There. I feel better.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
