You (Could Have) Read It Here First
Long-time readers (hi Sweetie!) know how much I admire Charles Krauthammer’s writing. I’ve said that when I read his columns, I often wish I had written them first. Well, now that fantasy has partly come true. Krauthammer’s column today covers some of the same ground as my post Wednesday on Obama’s mixed signals to the […]

C’mon, You Know You Want to Hear About My Stats
It has come to my attention that some of you are less fascinated than I am by discussions of my blog traffic. If that describes you, I suggest scrolling down past this post. I wrote previously about a “Sullivalanche” caused by a link to one of my posts from Andrew Sullivan’s blog, back in October. […]

But Enough About Obama…
The title of this blog contains precisely 21 letters and spaces. Why do I know this, or care? Well, it turns out that the way-cool Obamicon.me application will only allow up to 20 characters in a caption.

The Perils of Blogging
Like many (most?) bloggers, I crave a bigger audience, and I thought I had found a gambit that might tempt James Taranto to link to me from his “Best of the Web Today.” Yesterday’s BotWT included one of his “Wannabe Pundit” items, quoting a journalist taking a pot shot at the Bush Administration in the […]

15 Minutes of Google Fame
It turns out that if you Google “lopez kathleen parker” (as someone from Houston did earlier this afternoon), my humble blog shows up as the fifth result.

Facebook Bleg
I wish I’d thought of this before my BFF Andrew Sullivan sent more than 5,000 of his readers to my “Catfight” post, but here we are. For those of you who have found your way back here, I have a “bleg” (as in “blog beg,” a parallel coinage with “blog” from “web log.” Forgive me […]

“Catfight” Post Sparks a Sullivalanche
Further info about traffic on the Catfight post that sparked today’s Sullivalanche… The full daily stats have not been posted to my Google Analytics “dashboard” yet, but it turns out that doing a customized search for a time period pulls out data that is more current than the dashboard. The graphic above shows my total […]

Catfight in The Corner! Lopez vs. Parker
Welcome, Andrew Sullivan and 3QuarksDaily readers. While you’re here, I hope you’ll take a look around and leave a comment! The “Labels” section in the right column can be used as a menu. I’m a big fan of National Review Online’s group blog, called The Corner. It has been described as “the Id of Conservatism,” […]

My BFF "Pete Robinson" (Unwittingly) Helps Me Shill For My Consulting Business
As I write these opening words, it’s a little after 2 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, October 17. I mention this by way of setting up a whiny rant about how hard it is for a new blogger to get noticed. There’s an editorial [free link] titled “A Liberal Supermajority” in today’s WSJ [today’s!! I’m […]

Never Forget
Some day soon I need to write more extensively about the name of this blog. It comes from something that English statesman Edmund Burke apparently did not actually say, so I’ve felt free to modernize the language: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.” Regardless of who […]
