For bonus credit, I suggest that you write about Republican undergarments.

Since this is turning into the First Annual Genghis Appreciation Day, I must acknowledge that exile to Philly has stirred the man's creative juices. He's virtually cornered the market on reporting from both the distant future and the dawn of creation.

Thankfully, he can write only so many posts a day, so he's left a gap between the Middle Ages and today for the rest of us to comment on. But we'd better work fast; I hear his treatise linking the Industrial Revolution to the invention of underpants is going to be a blockbuster.

Actually, our super secret blogger technology does allow me to see the reads. And of course, TPM has the recs. (But at TPM, if it's not about republicans or undergarments, it's not going anywhere.) What I need is an enjoyment detector.

Or I could just shrug my shoulders and keep writing.

Just because we don't

Just because we don't comment, it doesn't mean we don't enjoy it. We just have nothing to add. Perhaps you need to add a little flamebait or something if you want to see how many people are reading it.

Thanks, D. This one was

In reply to damn, these are funny. better

Thanks, D. This one was possibly my favorite of the bunch (I like the Cactus Redistribution Act), but it seems to have generated a big yawn so far, both here and at TPM. I'll keep 'em coming.

damn, these are funny. better

damn, these are funny. better than a lot of the stuff the onion does.

awesome, awesome names of people, songs, and organizations, too. (Lisa Lemmon ... Trey de Voett ... Dewie Givaschitz ... Mostly United Auto Workers? Concerned Citizens Against Helping People? and perhaps my favorite of them all, Springsteen's future classic, the Ballad of the Certified Diesel Technician,
