We Don't Care What They're Saying As Long As They Get The URL Right

Lots of chatter out there about our cadre of humble bloggers.

Captain Ed reveals that we're in league with Big Tobacco:

I hadn't realized that they were part of the tobacco cabal, although the Elder does remind me of the Marlboro Man at times, sans horse.

Marlboro Man? I'll take that as a compliment. Better than the occasional comparisons to Conan O'Brien. Ed also believes that we're coo coo for Coco Puffs:

This decision, no doubt, will delight the Fraters guys. If you read them or hear them on the air, you know they're certifiable.

Are we Ed? Are are we so sane that you just blew your mind?

Meanwhile, JB's post on conservative converts who at times stil revel in their liberal past caught the attention of Mitch Berg at Shot In The Dark, who agrees to disagree with JB's assessment:

And it's there you're wrong, JB.

Synchophantic commenters on Mitch's site concur:

And frankly, JB's article offended me.

I too felt a certain sting after reading J.B.'s post.

...that's a distinction that exists only in JB's head.

Joe Carter from the evangelical outpost elected to eschew the rote JB bashing and instead offered up some advice:

I'd like to leave my friend J.B. with this quote from Robert Louis Stevenson:

"To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser."

Unless of course the views you had at twenty were right all along.

Finally, our good friend and radio mentor Hugh Hewitt counsels his readers to keep their eyes forward and ignore the train wreck:

Pay no attention to Fraters. They've all been in the bottle again.

After our disastrous decision to play trivia at Keegan's last night with split squads, and the resulting failure to win (one team tied for second, the other finished third) crawling into a bottle to drown the agony of defeat sounds pretty good right now.
