Site Update: Extreme Mortman

Spaulding, Get Your Foot Off the Boat! is pleased to announce the addition of Extreme Mortman to the links sidebar.

For the uninitiated, Extreme Mortman is a very cool, highly decorated political blog. From the site:

In addition to editing the daily on-line political briefing, Mortman wrote the regular column “Extreme Mortman,” which drew a cultish Internet following of political junkies looking for his original political and media insight and dry humor. He later worked for MSNBC, where he produced “Hardball with Chris Matthews” during the 2002 and 2004 election cycles and wrote a regular column for the MSNBC.com web site. Mortman has also written political comedy and has performed stand-up comedy at such venues as the DC Improv.
The Extreme Mortman blog now makes the sidebar because Howard Mortman himself was kind enough to post a comment on Spaulding in response to my complaint that this somewhat cool, not-at-all decorated blog has not showed up in any of the Blogs the Famous Media Reads blog entries. (Before I continue, let me clarify that Blogs the Famous Media Reads will remain banned from the links column until Spaulding is given its due, despite my acclaim for its Extreme Mortman parent site).

Given my commenter's background, would now be a bad time to point out that I'm a politically-saavy and experienced communications/PR professional who is open to new job opportunities?

Yep, put my resume in a pile with all the other West Wing watching, Economist reading, sports following, pop culture absorbing, electoral map shaders.

If only Blogger Beta had an "add resume" function...

Snubbed!

Spaulding, Get Your Foot Off the Boat! would like to express its extreme disappointment that it has not made any of the listings on the Blogs the Famous Media Reads blog, a listing of what mainstream press "celebrities" are reading in the blogosphere.

This is unexplainable.

Spaulding is the on the cutting edge of the issues that are shaping our world and it would seem that the news media who attempt to cover those events would want to read Spaulding to see what the Spaulding, Get Your Foot Off the Boat! demographic is thinking.

Look at it this way: within the last 30 days Spaulding has chronicled topics such Tiger Woods' continued dominance, global warming, renegade squirrels, and Toyota profits.

How can this blog not be your homepage, reporters?

In protest of this obvious affront, Spaulding will not list Blogs the Famous Media Read in its links sidebar until this oversight is addressed.

C'mon. How many more hits does the Daily Kos need?
