The colorful language of bloggers:
It’s easy to dismiss this dedication to a hermeneutic of fear as passe
[Phil Wilson]
And from bliblical to “sumthin’-”secular:
socially engineer the views of an aggrieved ecosecular fascist minority
[Six Meat Buffet]
Though sometimes the perfect word is hard to find:
more of the same tedious, dull, dreary, mind-numbing, tiresome, lackluster, monotonous stuff
[Marketing Monster]
And lastly, the most colorful phrase of the day:
The leather clad wannabees that have stuffed you into their codpiece
[Whitescreek Journal]
Cotton to the cornucopia of colorful cacophony!

Something else that’s a valuable blogging tool? A blogger. Something Channel 2 should either shit or get off the pot about.

Brian, you sound angry. I guess you have reason to be angry with these here pages causing you hours of consternation over unresolved anticipation of the site’s rebirth.
Here I am simply praising you for your periodic compositional innovations (a la Shakespeare!) and you go proving me wrong. I’m still unsure if in your metaphor I am the excrement or the pot.

I don’t think you’ll find that I’ve been one of those “lordy, what will we do without NiT” types. So rumors of my pining away about the fate of this place is quite an exaggeration.
My commodal comparison was not about you at all. They’ve had six months to either revamp this place or shut it down.
Safe to say the apple polishing volunteer route failed.
This isn’t rocket surgery. Pay somebody $10 to $12 an hour to post twenty times a day and linking to those 200+ vanity whores on the blogroll and they’ll come streaming back.
Bloglines and feedreaders kill faceless aggregators. But that’s just me talking.
I don’t get why they keep funding one site that’s basically just a crank outlet for a handful of Marxists and a 3 or 4 Paultards and let’s this one limp along.
But that must be that “vision thing” all those smart new media types have.

Mike:
Is Brian McMurphy one of the Sixmeatheads? I’ve never gone there, because I’m ascared of tough people who hate so good. If he’s from there, it explains a lot.
It’s like a scab, they just won’t let it heal.

I actually enjoy their site, and it was through my regular perusing that I discovered the ecosecular minority’s penchant for fascist imperialism. And the battle of “Earthwhore” vs. icepick (operated by an imbiber of single malt, presumably) made me giggle.
Back to polishing apples…

But I do agree on one major point — someone paid $10 to $12 an hour could have made this site recognize daylight savings time by now (posted at 1:02pm Nashville time).

Commie - shouldn’t you be dancing liberally at your gay bookstore?
