Jeffrey Rosen shan't be back

But its author, the noted legal writer Jeffrey Rosen, says he's been burned by the episode, too — enough that he's swearing off blogging for good.

Above all, Rosen says he's drawn a lesson from how his initial essay was treated by people of both ideological stripes. He won't be blogging any more.

Well, he certainly does seem to have perfected the great american stamping of feet, gathering up of footballs, power tools and legos, gripping the wife's upper arm and going home, doesn't he?

I know from bitter experience that even to the extent he is embarrassed now, he will be more so sometime in the near future when he sheepishly makes his return, desperately hoping no one would notice...

That's why baby Jesus invented the Moonwalk, mikey.

Why do I sense my heart will be broken once again?

I have to fin it to you, fish.

There I was, over at 3Boolz!, and I read your icky fishy link. Then I figured, let's head on over to fishland to see what's going on over at the tank.

Imagine my suprise when I was rickrolled!

P.S. I did just spend too much time trying to find the comment with which I rick-rolled all my brand new fiends at 3Bulls!. Yet I remain empty-handed. Some other day!

LOL!

Didn't think I would get anyone with it. Did it for my own LULZ.

Nobody has ever used anyone for their own political ends before!

True story: that video was partially responsible for one of my past relationships.

Don't ask.

Clarification: the moonwalk video.

Again, don't ask.

I was sure it was going to be the Rick Asstley, Mend D.

That was another occasion. It was less successful.

Fish is a trapdoor spider, but with links instead of a trapdoor. And he usually doesn't eat his prey.

Usually.

umm, thunderdude, you link over at 3Bullz leads to geocities.

It's like you don't WANT anybody to be back.

Righteous Bubba said...

Haha, it's funny that Rosen won't be back, MR. WEEK-OLD POST.

I have an excuse, RB!

I've thought all week about a post about this NYT article, which I find annoying, but it's tricksy annoying.

Also, I've been wanting to post some photos of my over ten year long W.V. mountain laurel experiment, which is at last bearing [s]fruit[/s] flowers.

But it's hard to write the first, and I've only had a digital camera in the last couple years. And I'll make up more excuses if I have to.

P.S. What the hell I can't use "s" or "strike" HTML!?

I SHAN'T BE BACK!!1one!
