Not Ready For Prime Time Playa
We were gratified to see that talk radio maven Hugh Hewitt noticed our post introducing the newest blog on the block Spitbull, run by the brother of our very own Atomizer. Hugh has done a tremendous job promoting blogs in the past and the very mention of Spitbull on Hugh’s site portends nothing but good things for its future.
But with all due deference to the titular head of the Northern Alliance we also feel that Hugh was a bit hasty extending an invitation for Spitbull to join the prestigious association. A weeks worth of posts does not a successful blog make. As current head of the Northern Alliance admissions committee we would like to monitor Spitbull for some months before deeming it worthy of consideration. This time would be a probationary period for the blog when it must demonstrate its merits and prove that it deserves inclusion into the august body.
Another reason to be a bit hesitant about Spitbull is the family connection between its proprietor and Atomizer. Giving one family, especially one with the reputation that this one has, that much power could be a dangerous thing. Granted Atomizer does not exercise much influence here at Fraters yet. He’s still basically an intern around the office making coffee, picking up our dry cleaning, delivering the voluminous amounts of fan mail we receive (Saint Paul is quite popular with the ladies. The ladies in maximum security that is. He’s still waiting for a jail break and some of that oh so hot fugitive sex.), as well as serving as JB’s personal assistant. If you’ve ever seen the movie Swimming with Sharks you’ll have an idea of how that relationship works. Only JB is a more demanding and less sensitive boss.
So we wish to extend a warm welcome to the blogsphere to Spitbull. But to become a member of the Northern Alliance it takes more than just a catchy title.
