I know you're concerned that some of my more unusual undertakings risk making me look immature, but I managed to pull it all off last week; now Charles Johnson and the popular liberal blog Instaputz are linking to me regularly, which has increased the amount of hits I've been getting by a factor of seven.

Here's the piece that did it; is also currently up on Huffington Post:

Here's Charles Johnson (he's the fellow who did Rathergate and was otherwise the darling of the right for years) praising me again the other day:

And here's Instaputz putting me on their blog roll; Atrios and other folks with huge readerships read this one, so it'll be especially helpful:

Just hoping to alleviate your concerns; I'm working under a long-term plan here. When McCain goes down - and he will, as I've been in touch with a number of other folks at TNR, Crooks and Liars, and elsewhere - my name's going to be all over it, and we'll be able to throw books around like a crackhead in a library.
