. . . Stacy McCain and Matt Drudge decided to found their new grassroots organization, “Citizens for Nuclear Hysteria and Higher-Priced Electricity.”
Because who cares about the future, when you can get internet traffic now?
UPDATE: AllahP has thrown up his hands (see last two updates), and so has Stacy McCain, who proclaims:
My advice: Get some sleep. And when you wake up Sunday morning, go to Denny’s and have their Grand Slam breakfast while reading the local newspaper. Then go back home and drink a couple brews while watching a basketball game on TV. At that point, you can then safely log back onto the Internet and try to figure out what actually happened Saturday.
That may be what we have to do, since trustworthy information is not thick on the ground, here.
UPDATE 2: Apparently I was unclear. I didn’t call Stacy cynical. I said he was an . . . escort for hits.

Actually LMA, Jeff G is taking a more laid back approach to this:
I love “BigHotAcearico.” It sounds like the name of a burrito. Or a porn star.
Stacy is noting that all the Media Mavens are now flocking to Japan to boost ratings. I can safely predict that unlike Cairo, none of them will be beaten, raped or sexual assaulted in Japan.
Except for Anderson Cooper who will be willingly violated by several large octopi.
Cool pic; it seems, however, like her pubic-hair pattern is not quite right.
Ignoring facts that question your dogma is fine.
Trying to convince less ideological people to ignore those facts will be harder.
Did you just liken Stacy’s adoration of blog-traffic to a Monica-Lewinsky type person?
I think I did. But I’m almost certain he’d endorse it.
Of course he would, and with relish. That’s the fun of it, the fun aspect of his shameless self-promotion. And there is a boldness to his writing, which being a conservative, I very much appreciate. I am not following this argument all that closely, but for the sake of perspective I would hope we still can recall that Stace is quick to jump in and support people he considers his friends.
For what it’s worth.
I haven’t forgotten any of you who stood up for me then; it was, from my POV, the blogosphere’s finest hour. (It was also the first time a topic I generated got onto Memeorandum, though I don’t think my own blog made it there, because the MemeO spiders don’t seem to pick this site up.)
“BigHotAcearico.”
Make a good band name, too.
