1 There goes the neighborhood ;-)

2 Isn't this a sign of the apocalypse? Because that would be SWEET.

3 You know they're just gonna cut you off again.

4 I guess we have to start behaving ourselves again. Put on our best Sunday finery, so to speak. Where's greg? I think I owe him a hug.

5 Won't this result in even larger amounts of leftist psycho-babble in comments? It's good to see they added you back though. Rusty, do you expect to see a dramatic increase in site visitors?

6 Come on, don't you guys remember all of the moonbats we used to get? That was, like, so much fun. Shhhhh. I'm hunting moonbats!! The way Google News works is that we should see a slight increase in traffic, with periodic huge jumps. I'm predicting a daily increase of about 10% or so, but two or three times a month we might see a 500% increase (when Google News puts you on their front page). That's how it worked in the past, at least. We may not get those big increases, though, if, as rumor has it, Google has put smaller 'news' outfits at the end of their priority lists. They used to count outlets such as The Jawa the same way they did the NY Times. Not any more.

7 Rusty, I don't know whether to congratulate you or send you condolences!

8 Are you gonna get crazy blog money 'cause of this, or is that just Ace's kick? Note to self: Remember to shamelessly steal cite Blogfather and trackback more often.

9 Sellout

10 Yes, it's all about the crazy blog money. Unfortunately, this blog now belongs to Roger L. Simon. I am, as it were, somebody else's bitch now ;-) And I don't get all this 'sellout' business. I clearly intended to sell out from day 1!!
