Michelle, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

To paraphrase Han Solo, "I'm out of it for a little while, and the whole blogosphere gets delusions of grandeur!" Two of my favs, Michelle Malkin and Allahpundit, start a video blog? At the risk of losing all of my readers, check it out here. Michelle I can see as the perfect front woman for a video blog--both photogenic & hip, but Allah? Trust me on this, if ever there was a face made for old-fashioned blogging, it's Allah's! He does prove to be a competent video editor, though, in this video. Let's hope Michelle never convinces Allahpundit's mom to unlock the basement door. Since I've been out of town, I really don't know what to say about the CIA leak. Nothing. In fact, I hadn't even heard of it until I sat down to check my e-mail this morning. Not. A. Thing.

Le'ts also hope that Michelle's other long-time video collaborater Bryan from Junkyard Blog will be included in the mix at the new website.

The big question that this raises, in my mind, is whether or not bloggers such as myself can survive in a more high-tech blogosphere? I can't even manage to get an audio podcast going, let alone a video blogcast. That old Sparks [D'oh!] Buggles song comes to mind, but with a twist: Will video kill the blogosphere stars?

3 Nah, Jawa is a great blog. Good luck trying to log onto Hot Air. I was unable to register. Give it a day or two. The blog promises to be awesome - another bite out of the MSM's lunch. Life is good.

5 Obviously I spoke too soon. It's back down again. This site goes up and down more than...

7 SPARKS are cool, but JD's right. Maybe you meant to recall AMATUER HOUR.

8 I was able to register but after 15 minutes I haven't gotten my password. I figure it'll show up late tonight or something.

10 Hm, I never got the original password mail (probably got eaten by a liberal) so I hit her reset password link and now I'm in. The site's still having problems though. You can't get to your profile page to set your name, for instance.

11 I've been trying to download Kerry's Sunday morning talk about Mary McCarthy for about an hour now. I'm yelling at the damn thing to hurry up and then I thought, "Wait ... I'm frustrated and trying to get this thing to hurry up so I can see John Kerry? Have I lost my friggin' mind?"

12 I was lucky and got registered, but it doesn't matter if the site is down. Glad Allah is back in de house, though. I miss his site, and the thought of such genius just festering in the ether bugs me.

13 O, Sunday Kerry, OK to breaking the Law http://www.exposetheleft.com/2006/04/23/kerry-breaking-thelaw/ * Sunday JOHN KERRY: But there is no excuse three and a half years later for American troops to be driving by IEDs and getting blown up. Are you telling me that they canÂ’t drive a truck? http://www.exposetheleft.com/2006/04/24/kerry-troops-ieds/
