I’ll be heading back east for a few days to visit family and friends in Baltimore, but I leave protein wisdom in the capable hands of a collection of superb guest bloggers, some of whom will doubtless take pot shots at me in my absence, Bill.
Guests include Allah (Allah is in the House), Michele (A Small Victory), Bill INDC (INDC Journal), Steve Green (Vodkapundit), Moxie (Moxie.nu), Steve H (Hog on Ice), Kate McMillan (small dead animals), Andy O’Reilly (World Wide Rant), Charles Austin (sine qua non), John Beck (INCITE), Velociman (Velociworld), and Zombyboy (resurrection song).
Also making special guest appeares are Jeremy Olson (retired, of the late lamented WAFOS)—and Jeralyn M (TalkLeft), who will play the part of “female token liberal #1.” The part of “male token liberal #1” was offered to no one—though I briefly considered Matthew Yglesias. But he has important friends. And a curfew. And is dry as a skin rash.
Anyway, back on Tuesday. Until then, behave yourselves.

update: Fafblog!

update 2: protein wisdom, ever the smooth talker, has lured blogosphere legend Robert Prather (nee of Insults Unpunished) out of retirement for a few days. Robert, too, will be posting in my absence.
Incidentally, Andrew Sullivan practically begged for a guest blogging opportunity, but I told him to get stuffed. Drudge, too. I ain’t running some populist shithole here.
Hey guys, did you all get your ten bucks? I’m not posting until that money is my dresser.
Jeff – so long, and thanks for all the bunnies…
Actually, I won’t be guest blogging unless your registration system decides to change its mind and e-mail me my login info.
Ohh, bang. Baltimore, huh? Well, according internet rules and prophesies from the aztecs, I’m in DC so you owe me 3 to 7 beers and travelling expense. Your attendance isn’t needed per se, but heck, I may need a designated driver.
Enjoy your trip.
Make sure you lock the bunny pen up nice and tight while you’re gone. Maybe carrots and a little water if you think of it. Just think of how sad Johnny would be if they got out.
Have a great trip! Hope everything’s okay back east.
Oh, and maybe separate the boys and girls to keep things from getting really interesting.
I did mean the bunnies but whatever…
I have such a feeling of power…
Hey JG, track down whoever used to write as U Thant at the apparently now dead(http://www.uthant.com/)so we can find out if he ever solved his big mystery. He could pose it as a debate question:
Resolved
George Stephanopoulous shaves his nut sack and he’s ok.
Now there is a guest blogger who could uphold the pw standards in your absence.
I’m guessing we won’t have access to your templates – and that’s a shame because this place could use a LOT more monkey logos and such.
Anyway, I promise to only mildly abuse your blog to spout off my semi-militant atheist, small-L libertarian with neocon tendencies opinions.
Edwards is currently gripped by apoplexy
Travel safely, and catch a lot of crabs!
I e-mailed the guy at Stagolee’s link, asking, if I gave him his million euros all at once, would he let me take the poor bunny off his hands.
Apparently he found my use of the <salivating> tag in the message a little off-putting.
Damn, but those Euro-weenies are so sensitive!
I have an apple here, but it’s not talking back Jeff. Can you FedEx some of those pills before you leave?
Have a great vacation, we’ll hold down the fort!
Baltimore, huh? The city that bleeds? Herpes capital of U.S.? The land of pleasant living? Where 60% of the populations is out of the workforce?
never heard of the place.
Jeff: Didn’t you receive my male token liberal headshot and resume package? Dammit, I knew that there was no such thing as a “weblog agent”… especially one that smelled like Thunderbird and piss, wore 13 layers of clothing in 85-degree heat, and kept telling me to contact his dental work with my thoughts.
My stringwarts are making me incredibly testy, however I will try to uphold the standards you’ve set, Jeff, specious as they are. By the by, the dolphin steaks were excellent, although the peacoat is a bit short in the reach.
Hey, how does one win a cool gig like writing for PW? What does it take? Talent?
Damn… Leaves me out…
Have a groovy and safe trip, Jeff.
woooohoooo Andy! Show these people how to party
What? No email? No invitation to blog? I know I’m retired, but I’m extremely talented and have the nipples to prove it!!
I’ve been talking back to my 8-track player all day to warm up.
Thank you all for doing this.
Mox—left you a little Ziploc baggy filled with “gifts” over beside the Ziggy Stardust figurine.
Velociman—I think that coat was hemmed. Check the inside. Could be just a matter of a few snips before you’re in aquaSpook chic.
Andy—God loves you. Even if you don’t love him back. Remember that.
Zomby—that’s called an “erection.”
John—If you happen to talk back to “Chevy Van,” tell Sammy Johns I met that same freaky chick he sings about, only I did her in the back of a Plymouth Duster. And she gave me $26.00. Which, that was a lot in 1973.
Michele—that 10 bucks was for something else. You complete your end of the bargain and we’ll talk.
Bill—shut up.
OT—help, I can’t get in!
