Our Ankles replies to Nick Coleman's column,
Nick Coleman:
'Blog of the Year' goes to extremes. Some mighty factchecking
in the Coleman column:
3) Powerline sells thousands of dollars in ads,
including one for T-shirts that say, "Hung Like a
Republican."
But does Powerline or its mighty righty allies take money from
political parties, campaigns or well-heeled benefactors who hope to
affect Minnesota's politics from behind the scenes? We don't know,
and they don't have to say. They are not Mainstream.
They are Extreme.
When I read that, about the ads, I thought 'what's he writing
about? what ads?'
I read the Powerline
rss feed with
akregator and rss/atom
reader, which doesn't have those ads. It does have the site's own
ads, but strips out or doesn't download, stuff from blogads.com.
whap whap whap "Nickie, Nickie, wake up Nickie, are you
all right?"
whap whap whap [coming to] "Huh, oh, yeah, I'm fine"
whap whap whap "Then STOP SLAPPING ME!"
