Something I wrote at IMAO wound up getting linked on the sidebar of Ann Coulter's web site (January 9).

[140k screenshot for posterity]

Color me bemused. I can't imagine how she found it. Although she probably has interns to comb the web for sidebar fluff, so I doubt it's actually personally approved.

Still, I'm a little embarrassed by this link. When I wrote that piece, I didn't END it so much as... just quit writing... because I was tired from my day job. I told myself comforting procrastinators mottos like "It won't get posted for a couple days [IMAO has a scheduled-post feature that actually works, unlike the still-broken one here], so I can put a little polish on it tomorrow", and "it doesn't really matter if it's good or not, the audience is forgiving of the occasional near-miss".

Then it winds up with a celebrity endorsement.

It's like dashing out to the grocery store in your sweats & bad-hair-day hair, and being accosted by a CNN reporter and her camera crew.

On the bright side, it turns out that Ann Coulter doesn't have anywhere NEAR the site traffic that you'd suspect a crudely-entertaining, political bomb-throwing polemicist like her would have, so it wasn't as humiliating as, say, being Instalanched would've been.

Small favors. I'm grateful for them.
