- Which segues nicely into a peculiar experience I had recently where I overheard a disturbingly strange conversation at an internet café. Naturally, I couldn’t understand a word of anything either of the two said and was amazed they could understand each other – but when I heard my name mentioned, I perked up and began to furiously scribble down every word.

Hopefully you’ll find post-xanga Blogbat mucho better in not a few respects.

It has after all been a slow news week so far, right? Aside from the threat of riots in Kiev (apparently they have their own Al Gore copycat criminals in
And I suppose we also found out this week as well that the great CBS Newsnazi, the grand pooba of catty good-ol’ boy-ism is calling it quits. Most of us could fairly see that on the horizon as a post-election mortem. What more can we say? Rather’s Bushed.
And may Charlie Brown top the headlines until I return…

Sending love from me and the kids… I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Happy Turkey Day, Blogbat!!
PS…I’m getting the sense that one of the particapants in the conversation was defending your honor.
