Jesus Christ. This Christmas Ghost person had said the other day that I neglected to publish the most important e-mail from our surreal exchange in order to protect myself from humiliation or some such. Here it is:

My favorite part is when she notes that no one ever talks about you in the midst of a blog post that's largely about you, and in culmination of a conflict that began when her buddy did a cartoon that's entirely about you, and after a dozen e-mails she sent in which she talks mainly about you.

Not specifically, but McCain's name might come up. It's for a profile in the NYT Magazine that they set up a few weeks ago. They were interested in the blog backlash to my stance in favor of not going totally fucking insane. They're also interested in the techie angle, since I wrote all the LGF software myself.

Is the NYT talking to you about the McCain thing?

Howdy-

Would you be interested in having Little Green Footballs founder Charles Johnson join up with True/Slant? He's the co-founder of the conservative blog network Pajamas Media, the fellow who led the way on the Rathergate thing, exposed that deal with the Iranian missile test where they pretended to have more missiles than they really did, and is otherwise a hell of a citizen journalist.

He tells me he'd be interested; let me know if you'd like to get in touch with him.
