The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Shhhh! Nobody tell Lance that the rest of us get checks...
Fellow Right Wing News weekend updater TrogloPundit pokes some fun at Arianna Huffington's legions of whiny indentured servants.
Huffington Post bloggers who think they ought to get paid for their volunteer writing have been litigating their case in the court of public opinion. Now they're taking it to a real one.
Today, a group of bloggers led by union organizer and journalist Jonathan Tasini filed a class-action suit against the Huffington Post, founder Arianna Huffington, and AOL, which acquired the news-and-blogs site in February.
Boo frickin' hoo, right? They're volunteers. Much like the deal Trog signed on for at RWN:
As many of you reading this are aware, The Trog is a weekend guest blogger over at Right Wing News. Have been since…wow, it's almost two years already. Right Wing News earns revenue for its proprietor(s). I do not share in that revenue.
I think the operative word here is sucker.
I knew I wasn't going to be paid (at least, not in money) when I agreed to post at Right Wing News. But that's okay by me, because that was the deal. I'm a volunteer, who is reimbursed in traffic, exposure, and ego-boost. I bet that was the deal for all those now-whining liberal bloggers at HuffPo, too.
He bought that line? "Traffic, exposure, and ego-boost?" Is that all he's getting? I guess this isn't the best time to clue Lance in our little secret — the rest of us get checks.
Big, honkin' checks. Signed by the Deputy Finance Minister for Nigerian Oil Exports. Those checks are the Real Deal, aren't they? 'Cause I just bought a boat.
