I do occasionally get funny correspondence about my web page on US Presidential elections and facial hair. But over the last 48 hours I have hit the bigtime: Andrew Sullivan, whose “The Daily Dish” is one of the top US political blogs, linked to it under the flattering title The Ultimate Dish link. Seeing as he is so widely read, I’m not surprised to find others picking it up and linking to it, and reading things I never wrote into it. These guys think I am telling Obama and McCain to stay clean shaven. This guy is glad I cited one of his friends. This blogger expects that I am happy Hillary didn’t get the nomination (I am, but not for the reason he probably thinks). This person thinks we need more number-crunching. Thanks to all of that, I’ve had over 3000 extra hits – five times normal. The Internet is a small place sometimes…
Thank you for the reminder. I haven’t read him for years, but I love his work. The atomic sheep quote is fabulous.
