Thanks For Noticing, But Let's Move On

It turns out I'm not the only one who reads The Bludog Chronicle. In the commentary section of Thursday's Minneapolis Star Tribune, you will find a column devoted to a wrapup of the big stories of the week as interpreted by local and national bloggers. And there we are, sharing space with the likes of Alec Baldwin and Nihilist In Golf Pants. Isn't that wonderful?

Although it was never my life's ambition to take up valuable newspaper space that could have gone to George Will or Maureen Dowd, or somebody like that, the inclusion is much appreciated. But there is one quibble. The word "chronicle", for our purposes, does not end with the letter "s". If this were Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek would have deducted points from your score. Did they eliminate proofreaders in the last budget cutbacks?

But we digress. If you want to read the column, go to startribune,com. If you want to see the post that contains (as Paul Harvey would put it) the rest of the story, please scroll down.

For the benefit of curiosity seekers who found this blog, we are not totally fixated on politics here, and we're not in the business of endorsing candidates. We also cover whatever we find interesting in media, sports and pop culture.

I'm flattered by all the attention this website is receiving (cue crickets). But it's a fast-moving world. We must not rest on our laurels. If a politician says or does something stupid, we'll be there. If a local or national media outlet does something out of the ordinary, we'll be there. If a young Hollywood actress is too inebriated to realize that she was just photographed without her panties, we'll be there. Or not.

Show's over, folks. Let's get back to work.
