The Lopez-Lowry Axis is apparently exerting its editorial powers, because Yankee Kathy has banned Shannen Coffin from posting in The Corner for the time being.
I'd give her a Bronx cheer---if I knew what that was---but then again, it might inspire her to further acts of Boston hatred. Bah! You're not going to sell any subscriptions like that, Ms. Lopez.
UPDATE: Er, go out of the area for several hours and look what happens. Eh, heh heh...er, it's all in good fun and I'm really glad I'm underground in an undisclosed location at the moment. Wow, the power of the blogosphere.
Howdy to all visitors from The Corner; I hope there's something worth viewing here for y'all. I'm, er, in a rebuilding phase, but come on in and browse about. If anyone's got something they'd like to see or hear about, well, I've got my e-mail account operational.
Three thousand hits in less than four hours. That's only a hundred times the daily average. Lord, I hope my host's bill is paid.
UPDATE II: It has occurred to me that, since Ms. Lopez has been gracious enough to give me in four hours what took six months to get (in terms of traffic), I ought to give them something. To muddle something from W.S. Churchill about magnanimity in victory, let me suggest the following: Click here and subscribe to the print version of National Review. Ms. Lopez, once I scrape together enough money, I'll be subscribing; I seem to have spent my immediately surplus reserves of capital on the very hat that I'm wearing.
UPDATE III: Mr. Coffin posted a rather touching and heartfelt missive on the subject, and there will be no celebratory column. That's all right; it is easy even for me to understand that eighty-six years of emotions---as Chris Myers put it, "generations"---are difficult to air in a web column.
