I get a kick out of Rusty Shackleford. I am one of the few people who puts up comments on his blog, and I had to quit because I could never remember either my name or password, and the password recovery system doesn’t work. I am either Mark T or Tomato Guy or Boulder Boy over there, and right now none of the three work.
Anyway, Rusty doesn’t write much – he merely links and puts up things others have written. His commentary is saved for his “topics” at the end of each post. Here’s the list for a piece he put up on talk radio:
Shut Up Hippie
Liberal Shenanigans
Traditional Media
Stupid People Rule!
Media
Zombie Apocalypse
Barack Obama
Stupid things the Left does/says
Liberal Bias
Does that sum it up? His close is always “That is all”.
I’ve given him a hard time – he doesn’t seem to care. He never actually addresses anything head on – he just characterizes things. He’s not deep. He’s not terribly witty. He never links to anyone who isn’t bona fide right wing.
Here’s his comment from over at Left in the West, where some dude Yellowstone Kelly wrote a long piece on how hard it is to run against Denny Rehberg:
There’s a point to this commentary, right?
Anyway, I’ve tried to reason with the guy. I’ve tried to be sympathetic and understand that he is probably young and needs a lot more weathering. Here’s the problem I’m having: He’s likable. He’s unique. He’s unpretentious. He’s not full of himself. He’s refreshing. I get a kick out of him. I’ve got to stop being mean to him.
Weird, eh?
