Hugh Hewitt, going beyond the chickenhawk foolishness, wonders if it will be near impossible for a man to get elected in the future who didn’t serve in the military today. I’d say that would be dependent on how the war is looked at in the future.
John Hawkins guest blogged at Tom DeLay’s new blog. It seems like trolls primarily rule the comments there as I guess the site policy is to only toss the vulgar comments.

We’re big.
No one says Rush, who? Or has to link to his site anymore. You just…know. He’s big. Like us.
Yessiree, Big. Battling Mothra big.
We’ve hit it and hit it Bigtime.

Just like Strong Bad gets emails all the time asking him how he can type with boxing gloves on, I often get the same questions over and over, too.
For example, Hitler Cats and Stuff On My Cat links arrive in my mailbox at least once a day.
Or Cats In Sinks. That’s popular.
It may not be the most common question, but I sure get a lot of notes from people telling me that my name was mentioned at Instapundit, but it wasn’t linked.
shrug That’s nice.
So, have you seen the site with the cats that look like Hitler?
You know, FrankJ told me that it happens to him a lot, too. Glenn will mention FrankJ but not link to him here, and people will point it out to him.
And then I realize… this isn’t an oversight on Glenn’s part. Nor is it a slight of our blogging efforts.
No, this is a case where it’s not necessary to link FrankJ’s name or my name anymore.
You see, we’ve made it. People know us by name alone. There’s no need to distinguish us from other FrankJ’s or Laurence Simons.
Unlike other people out there who still need their names linked by everyone refering to them, like Andrew Sullivan or Glenn Reynolds or Michelle Malkin, people don’t ask “Who is that?” when our names come up in a blog or article.
Okay, so maybe there are a few people in the world who don’t know who FrankJ and Laurence Simon are, but for them, there’s Google.
Look up FrankJ in Google… FrankJ is the #1 FrankJ in the world!
Look up Laurence in Google… Laurence Simon is the #1 Laurence in the world!
Now look up Glenn… Andrew… are they the #1 Glenns and Andrews in the world? (Oh, just shut up about Michelle Malkin!)
As I said, people know who we are by name alone. And even the lefties who run Google, who would love nothing more than left-wing FrankJs and left-wing Laurences to drive us into searchengine obscurity, know that.
B List?
A List?
No, we’re The List.
Think about it for a second. When you say Madonna or Sting or Paul McCartney or George Bush, do you link their name to their blog?
Of course not. Because they’re big. Bigger than the bloggers who need their names linked.
Big like us, Frank. We’re bigtime now.

My muse has left me. It’s December and I usually slow down until the new year, but I was hoping for a few more funny posts before I head off for Christmas vacation at the end of next week. No news story has got my funny sense tingling, though.
Throw some stuff in the comments and I’ll play off of you until I’m funny inspired. Or, go to Sadly, No! They’re supposed to be funny.

I added the image of the back cover of my book to its Amazon.com page so you can see the quotes from famous people (all real quotes) I use to show people who have never heard of me that I am actually very smart and funny.
As always, the book is currently available and shipping now if ordered from here.
