The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

HotAir.com has been sold to the guys who made Townhall.com unusable
Conservative blog diva Michelle Malkin has sold HotAir.com to Salem Communication for an undisclosed (but presumably quite lucrative) sum. (h/t Memeorandum)
Salem Communication defines itself as a leading U.S. radio broadcaster, Internet content provider, and magazine and book publisher targeting audiences interested in Christian and family-themed content and conservative values. Perhaps their most relevant property to this transaction is Townhall.com which claims itself to be the #1 conservative website.
Please God, don't let them do to HotAir.com what they did to Townhall.com. Because Townhall is definitely not my #1 conservative website.
In fact, Townhall has got to be one of the most annoying websites in the universe.
Check [out] this crapulous example of graphic sludge, popovers, popunders, animations, blink tags and other web page bullshit gone wild.
Who is responsible for this dog's dinner of stinking slush? Uncle Jethro? Baby Huey? The last six art directors fired from Porn.com? Does it matter? Nope. Not at all. Trying to read something on Townhall is like getting hit in the face with oozing semi-liquid spam every second.
And don't get me started on their never-ending, unable to unsubscribe even if you jump through all the hoops they've set up, email blasts. Townhall pimps more "get rich quick" investment scams than a Bronx boiler room operation. Even worse, somehow I got subscribed to their cruft twice so I get two copies of each piece of junk email they pump out.
I sure hope that Ms. Malkin (and co-bloggers Ed Morrissey and AllahPundit) know what they're doing here. Hot Air really is one of the top conservative websites. It had better not succumb to any of the irritating webpage pestilence which infects Townhall.
UPDATE 17 Feb 2010 17:14:
Irish Cicero links back with 6 words which neatly sum up Townhall.com: a turd with a web address.
UPDATE 17 Feb 2010 19:13:
Bob Belvedere seconds (thirds?) the Townhall.com epic suckage meme.
Like I tell myself when I contemplate clicking over to Townhall:
Don't do it Bob — life's too short and your RAM's too precious.
Most of the big guns in the blogosphere are taking a "wait and see" attitude, and hoping Hot Air won't change (much). I say, "when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas."
