Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Not one to brag or nothing...

But today's OpinionJournal has the following bit:

You Heard It Here First--II

"Bill, You Ignorant Slut"--headline, Best of the Web Today, March 6

"Bill, you ignorant slut . . ."--Dan Aykroyd as Bob Dole, "Saturday Night Live," March 8

In fairness to the guys at SNL, we should note that our headline was a riff on "Jane, you ignorant slut," an Aykroyd line from the '70s.

Well, now, let me just say this--I'm not one of those ivory-tower entertainment/media sorts, intent on going around tooting my own horn, but let us just remember that I posted the same thing at 9:51 A.M. Thursday. Taranto knows it, Aykroyd knows it, Hammond knows it, and now America knows it. Anyone want to disagree with Terry Oglesby on this is welcome to it, but let me just say, that Terry Oglesby is a good American, and if any of these other johnnies-come-lately want to mix it up, then I'll leap across this computer and cram this pen I'm holding RIGHT into your smirking, post-ironic, liberal...whew, sorry. Having a Bob Dole moment there.

Britney! Go get me a Viagra and a Pepsi.
