I’ve joked about this with the Blogospheric Neologian, how in The Zero Hour the temptation is to give into bloggernoia, defined as the suspicious belief that other bloggers aren’t linking you because of envy, spite or other malevolent motives: “Dan Collins is just jealous of my superior blog-fu! Dan Riehl, too! All these Dans are in on the conspiracy against me! Bwahahahaha!”
No, it’s true: we really are out to get him.
Can I be out to get him too – even if not named ‘Dan’? I have always wanted to be part of a cabal or conspiracy or such.
Sure. But we still call ourselves The Dans, if that’s all right with you.
How about thEdans, for the disguise?
Hmmmm. Too Hubbardy?
But that’s the misdirection part.
Oh, I see. Maybe those Spitzer Gremlins are related entities.
I think the proper construct would be TehDans.
As opposed to the Dans, Thing One and Thing Two works.
I am sure most of you have seen this already but here it is.

Nice to see that Our Presentdent is taking that global warming thing so seriously.
The conspiracy of non-linkage was transparent, as I’ll explain in my next book, Get In Touch With Your Inner Paranoiac: Successful Life Strategies of Existential Dread and Narcissistic Projection (with a foreword by Glenn Greenwald).
