You did a great job standing in for Allah, See-Dubya.

And thanks for inviting me to post at your blog – I enjoyed it mightily.

I don’t read that piece o’ crap paper anyway, (but I do use the bags to pick up my doggie’s doo-doo.) Lileks’ column is popular with everyone here regardless of politics because he’s talented. My libtarded friends here at work have no idea what his politics are but I know they like him because they talk about his columns, (we get the paper at work and some read it during their breaks.)

Wow! I knew that our MSM overlords were dense, but I had no idea they were capable of such reckless, arrogant stupidity. This makes me want to subscribe just so I can call up, cancel and tell them why.

Save Lileks:…

The blogosphere’s favorite humor columnist is getting a raw deal from his newspaper and has put out the call for some help. Several have already responded. (The Bleat) Dan Riehl offers a different perspective on the matter…….

That’s just wrong about Lileks. Bonafide National Treasure, that one is. Big mistake on his employer’s part. Very short-sighted.

Ya done good, See-Dubya. Enjoyed your posts, as always. Job well done!

Thank you, see-dubya.

Allah–who, during the middle of his vacation, wrote to tell me that, hey, Rosie was making a fool of herself on the View
I knew he would miss us.

The Strib continues its inexorable drive to the bottom.

Well done, See-Dubya.

Yeah, Lileks’ predicament is almost as bad as having a late-night show on Fox News! Hey, wait…

I would disagree, Ali B. Because of the web there’s a future for Lileks anywhere he wants to live.

He can move to Alaska, if he wants, and write for a paper in LA, London, or Singapore, and syndicate the column around the world into local papers and sites like Townhall.

He’s been making noises about wanting to move to Arizona. Maybe this will send him there.

Do Newspapers “Get” The Web?…

The answer to that would be a definite emphatic “No!” based on James Lileks’ latest post. Lileks writes that rather than creating synergy between his handsome, sprawling, ever-growing personal site and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the paper’s new …

The newspaper business is going to hell. There’s no future for Lileks in Minneapolis. He’s lucky they don’t have him driving a delivery route.

What a waste. Oh, he’ll do a fine job of it, but to use a Hot Air-appropriate metaphor, it’s like Fox News finally gave Michelle her own show, reading stock quotes at 3:15AM. With Nancy Grace.

Oh man, what Dennis Miller might have done with this instead.

Anyway, it’s been nice havin’ ya See-Dubya… Until next time.
