FINDING MY SOULMATE

I haven't really been part of the political blogosphere for about three months now, and I won't properly rejoin their ranks for a couple weeks or so (if that isn't a hint, then nothing is), but I'm glad the fine people at MyDD still remember me. For example:


Emphasis his, but who cares about that — hot damn, I'm just two degrees of mental separation from Sen. Clinton? I'm flattered, all right. But it turns out I am not two degrees separated. He continues:

This is a flawed way of thinking. It is based on the assumption that the people who donate to, volunteer for, and create buzz on behalf of Democratic candidates / progressive causes will give a fixed amount of resources no matter what those candidates do and how those causes are run. That simply isn't not true, and even though many people like William Buetler and Hillary Clinton talk as though it is true, they know it is not true.

Whooo! Take that — one degree! And I'm not even counting my old friend and former co-worker who went to write speeches for her. Me and Hillary? We're likethis.

However, as I said the last time, I'm fine with all of this just as long as you spell my name right. Alas, Chris is just 1 for 2 here. But then again, it's not that Chris doesn't know any better, it's just that he's the arguably the typo king of the left-wing blogosphere. (I'm also rather amused — or should I be worried? — that Bowers thinks he can read my mind.)

I've had my run-ins with the netroots before, and chances are I will have others. Despite the allegations of rampant craziness at dKos, I must say, for the most part they are rational and sincere people, albeit people with whom I disagree on most public policy issues. Some of them, though, are real assholes. And on that note, I've got to say... I'm really enjoying this.

Note — If you haven't been here for a few days — and really, who in their right mind has been? — scroll down for the 10 reasons (give or take) why I'm glad the Miami Heat won the NBA Finals.

Update — Maybe Bowers can't spell, but I can't count. Degree numbers have been adjusted.
