A Totally Independent Web Log & Not A Sockpuppet in Any Way

And if you believe the title of this item, Just Another Blog (From L. A.)™ has oceanfront property you may be interested in, & some swell parcels in the mountains as well. In the meantime, try to keep a straight face if you bother to peruse Blackwater Facts, a web log started (allegedly, posting times & dates can be altered) in April 2006, w/ a second post 11 mos. later. Suddenly, 17 September 2007, the day after the most recent "incident" in Baghdad, Blackwater is all over the news & Blackwater Facts is posting as if there's no tomorrow (which there may not be for the flack writing it if things don't go well) w/ 26 items in September, & 24 in the first three days of October. Note the first four words of the most recent item (@ 0549 PDT): "Elite Blackwater security men." For a blog sympathetic to Blackwater, but probably not written by someone on the payroll (or subcontracted) try The White Rabbit. Just before publishing this item, we scrolled through all 50 items, reading the comments. And in that time, they suddenly wised up, stopped taking anonymous comments, & began moderating comments. Haw!!

I went to the Blackwater "blog" site, and the sockpuppet crows about being made #1 in Google blog searches for the term "Blackwater" just two weeks after going online. Those ass-clowns can't tell the truth about anything.

It is to laugh. We threw a couple of comments @ them this a. m., & they've not appeared. The first three items there now, dated 4 October, were there yesterday, w/ yesterday's date.
One of the comments we made, in response to the comments policy change, was to the effect of: Is this being typed by a slow intern @ a GOP PR firm? Didn't make it through their "moderation." It's now sixth in Google™ Blog Search. Har-de-har-har!
