Alternate headline: Will HotAir be hiring another intern?

I saw Ed’s post this morning over at HotAir that Tina Korbe is moving on to what sounds like either a think tank, a lobbying firm or a … something policy-something-something… having to do with Oklahoma. To recap – Korbe, an unknown in the Conservative blogosphere, was hired out of left field to become the third blogger at HotAir, stayed a year, and now moves to another job not-blogging.

Sounds fine – I hope she does well in whatever it is she’ll be doing. RSM, whose writing on Korbe’s thighs I howled at and supported, has a minor reaction:

As I explained in February when people were screaming for my scalp: I’ve always liked Tina, had often linked and praised her blog posts, and she was always nice to me. My remarks that were interpreted as being critical of her were misunderstood, but if I write something that is misunderstood, the fault is mine anyway for having been less than clear in my writing.

Honestly, I don’t know how anyone could fit in on the main page at HA – its commentariat, of which I’m a rarely-contributing member, is brutal, at least in that oldfriend/newfriend sense that eventually Balkanizes most heavily-trafficked blogs about subjects people care about. When I read the comments and when I comment, I try to remember that it’s sort of like getting into a political argument with my parents and their friends, all of whom are in their 60s-70s.

I still visit the site, though it hasn’t been a regular read for me in some time. Allahpundit remains one of the most entertaining (if not thin-skinned) bloggers out there, and I suppose he’s really the only reason I’ve ever gone there. Beyond Allah, Jazz Shaw and Howard Portnoy’s work promoted from the Green Room seems to be what I enjoy the most.

To Korbe’s credit, when HA did its annual roundup of what was hot and what was not in the past year at the site, she had several of the most-commented posts. To her demerit (and yes, to her savviness), she posted more about Sarah Palin than either Ed or AP (or it at least seemed that way) and pretty much lost me when she referred to Palin as behaving like a “TV queen,” something that made zero sense in the context of a Conservative blog. Her move may in part have to do with the fact that she was recently engaged to be married – if I was starting out on that trail at a fairly young age, I’d probably want to take a lower profile gig as well.

The enduring mystery of how Korbe landed such a plum gig will forever remain. She’s moderately attractive, but so are many other young female bloggers who are, um, actually bloggers. I’m a nobody in an Internet of nobodies, so my opinion on the subject isn’t particularly useful or noteworthy, except to giggle every time I think of RSM using the phrase “Tina Korbe’s thighs.”

For that alone, her presence will be missed.

Schrodinger’s Cat is sort of like Occam’s Razor or Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles – it would look great on the back of your kid’s Little League uniform. Anyway, I’ve seen three references to the theoretical cat used to explain a relatively simple concept in quantum mechanics, and by simple I mean googleitmotherfucker.

Anyway, with three references I’m finally able to post this idiotic non-meme. Enjoy.

Heh:

So how’d things go with that much-anticipated summit between Ted Nugent and the Secret Service?

If you were expecting fireworks — understandable, given the ’70s heavy-metal star’s gift for bombast — we’re sorry to disappoint.

No charges, no arrest, and apparently no showdown of any kind came out of the Motor City Madman’s meeting with the feds, necessitated by some particularly (though not unusually) fiery comments he made at an National Rifle Association convention about chopping off the heads of Democrats and whatnot.

Nugent, 63, confirmed in a statement that “two fine, professional Secret Service agents” came to see him Thursday in Oklahoma, where he was scheduled to play Ardmore’s 2 Frogs Grill that night.

To all of my Christian readers, have a lovely Easter. For the rest of you, enjoy this epic rap battle between the Easter bunny and Genghis Khan.

But it’s totally funny. Totally. 

As recently as 2005, Esquire was a decent men’s magazine. Now, well, there’s this. Before you start citing Sam Jackson’s speech from True Romance, I know, I know, I know, to each his own – but when all of your friends are a) men and b) orally-fixated, then, yeah, time to find a friend that doesn’t have an “O” sticker centered on the rear bumper:

I recently undertook a small survey of some more mature male friends, and the results, while not unanimous, were overwhelming. To speak plainly, given the choice, eight of the ten men surveyed preferred eating pussy to having their dicks sucked. Or, to put it in entirely numerical terms, 80 percent of males would opt for a 70 rather than a 68. And what about the other two men? Yes, you guessed it: They’re gay! To be strictly accurate, the heterosexual respondents were partial to this kind of thing — but only in the mathematically blissful reciprocity of 70 minus 1. The gob-job continues to thrive in hetero pornography, of course, for the simple — literally obvious — reason that it lends itself to being filmed in a way that cunnilingus cannot.

Priceless.

One must wonder the caliber of voodoo dolls the attorneys in question are accruing for revenge.
