Rago, Rago, Rago [Dan Collins]

that’s all I ever do.  Why can’t I just let it go?

I don’t know.  Maybe because I think it’s funny.

Anyway, Sparks from the Anvil has some thoughts on our ”Youthful Curmudgeon” (which rhymes nicely with “bludgeon” and “dudgeon,” in case you wish to get limericky about it.  These thoughts seem largely to consist in a reposting of Dean Barnett’s piece from Hewitt’s site.  Joe says he’s a “good conservative,” if a little “old-fashioned,” but, God help me, I just can’t help pillorying him.  Fausta covered him a day or two ago, as well, I notice.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to hoof it down to the soda fountain, and smoke a cheroot on the way.

RELATED?

Scott Ott is asked by an editor to explain to his readers that if what he’s writing about Hurricane Katrina victims is satirical that it’s satire.  You know, kind of like the Surgeon General warning labels on a Big Mac.

No, dear, I won’t do the dishes, because I care about your tits.

    Rago is a twenty something kid who thinks he is cool because he graduated from Dartmouth and got a job with the WSJ.  Actually that is pretty cool, but his comments about blogsites are going into the CBS like pajama arrogance. 

    By the way, I noted that there were Wikipedia sites for Jeff Goldstein and Protein Wisdom and now they are gone.  Ouch.  Deleted for irrelevance and vanity.  Apparently millions of blog hits were not sufficient to make Jeff and Protein Wisdom relevant enough for Wikipedia.  Yet creepy Deb Frich is still worthy.  But Wikipedia doesn’t have any political bias does it?

    Merge into Protein Wisdom (blog). Goldstein is a notable conservative blogger and so passes the “professor test”, but we don’t need articles about both him and his blog. BTW, this is not a vanity page.

  3. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I had a Wikipedia entry?

    That’s tits.

    That they deleted me, though, is not a surprise.  I’m hardly that important.  Although I think in blog terms, I’ve done a bit to influence how many blogs are written.  Maybe I should lobby to be reinstated on those terms.

  4. Blog Punditry Watch says:

    Jeff, give yourself some credit, Protein Wisdom is significant enought to warrant being listed on Wikipedia (Don’t let your head get too big though, the threshold for qualifying for Wikipedia falls some where in between Who’s Who and the White Pages).  But here is the Wiki commentary on Protein Wisdom’s deletion.  It is stuff like this that gives Joe Rago’s comments some credence.  A little bunch of Wiki-dweebs who have never gotten laid and who can’t stand anything they disagree with.

    Weak Keep. Well-known and well-regarded amongst conservative bloggers. Technorati rank 451 (13,076 links from 1,741 blogs)[1]. Recent trolling/stalking of Goldstein (and his toddler son) by Deborah Frisch at this blog is notorious in blogosphere. I suggest merging Jeff Goldstein into this article.

    Quick, somebody create a Wikipedia entry for me, so I can nominate it for deletion!

    Jeff is back until the dweebs at Wikipedia decide to eliminate him.  Ace of Spades HQ has a wiki site too but who knows when that will be eliminated.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_of_Spades_HQ

    I’m not in wikipedia, but MasterCard insists I exist, at least until the bill is paid.

    Just be glad those Wiki-dweebs can only “delete” you from the site and don’t have the power to send you to the gallows or we would all be in Saddam’s shoes tonight.

    My advice. Don’t ever try to run some birdbrain scam on your better half. Their brains are wired with long range sensors to spot bullshit from synchronous orbit.
