Time to pay attention to my readers in Althouse-world.
Did you notice I quoted one of yesterday's Althouse commenters over at Glenn's place?
Both Michael Totten and I have linked to Dan Savage guest-blogging at AndrewSullivan.com. Michael calls Dan "gay sex advice columnist Dan Savage," which presents a complicated grammatical or punctuation problem, because if there's one thing about the Savage Love column, it's that Savage, though gay, rarely writes about gay sex. The idea -- as you already know if you're a regular reader -- is that there's something especially useful and interesting about a gay man giving advice to heterosexuals.
Speaking of advice, feel free to give me advice about what to do and not do with my Instapundit pedestal.

Oh, I would say do what you always do! You're brilliant, Ann!
How about a post on schizophrenia? I'm developing a case of it just from reading your posts, forgetting which site I'm on and trying to determine how you decide what comments go where.
My big complaint is that you are opening up so many interesting subjects over there, where we don't have a chance to opine. For example, "JOHN TIERNEY ON METH" opens up a very interesting topic on moral responsibility, esp. given what appear to me to be quite high social costs.
Maybe a thread over here to comment on what you are doing there?
got any good recipes?
Bruce: Good idea. I've done a few posts today that match Instapundit posts so people can comment. Check them out.
If you use 'Glenn or Glenda', would you have a post entitled:
Look Back in Ann-gora?
How many Ed Wood puns could a pundit chuck, if a pundit could chuck Ed Wood?
instead of 'heh' you also need your own 'catchword.'
maybe, 'hrrrmmm' or 'narf' or 'foof'...
Woohoo! My Glenn or Glenda suggestion made it to InstaPundit!
And as much as I would love even a mini-lanche, I concur, it would've been cheesy to link back to your blog...
...well, on such a trivial matter; the suggestion you broaden the Blogosphere debate by posting that on Insty is a good one.
Cheers,
Victoria
Look Back in Ann-gora?
*lolol*
As to the catchphrase, that was precisely my thinking too.
But it can't be forced, either.
Something light, nimble, and yet showing the degree of sardonicism all true intellects must project (which makes Glenn's "Heh" so perfect).
We'll brainstorm in the meantime, fear not, Glenn or Glenda.
Cheers,
Victoria
Speaking of advice, feel free to give me advice about what to do and not do with my Instapundit pedestal.
Sabotage, of course! Glenn is your competitor...time people spend on his blog is time they're not spending on yours!
I recommend lengthy discussions of the establishment clause, commerce clause, etc.
Got the catchphrase!
It's not even that synthetic, as Ann uses it all the time AND it's very much like Glenn's.
Meh
Of course, it can only be said when Ann doesn't like something she's linking to on InstaPundit, but her spirited chatter here will disabuse anyone of thinking she's a wet-blanket.
Cheers,
Victoria
Meh is good! It's funny I was thinking, "Feh!"
Post a picture up there. He never has any of those on Instapundit.
That's okay, Ron.
She can inject Feh if she really objects to a post's bloviating.
Now as to the sabotage business, count me in!
Cheers,
Victoria
I love the sound of the word "bloviation."
we must write lyrics to the tune of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation
using "bloviation."
Saw your link to Huffingtons Toast. That's are a great place to go when you need a good, nasty and sometimes snide serving of excellent humor.
It's not that snide. That's Private Eye!
However, I'm not Ann Althouse (although I play her on TV), so I couldn't tell you how Huffington's Toast Instapundit/AnnPundit-hommage posts sounded to me.
I think it says a lot, however, that Ann links to them, and takes it all in stride.
After all, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
I'm sure that saying covers send-ups too. :)
Cheers,
Victoria
