One of my hobbies over the past fifteen years or so has been trying to get some of my favorite bloggers from the halcyon days of Minnesota blogmongery to stay, if only a little bit, in the game.
With a few – Johnny Roosh, Bogus Diane – success was fleeting. But it was great while it lasted.
With others – not gonna name names – other priorities called. [1]
With still others – Mr. D, First Ringer – well, it worked, we found a niche, and they still do some writing in this space. My deal’s always been “write whenever the spirit moves you” – and they do. And for that I’m grateful.
And one whose writing I’ve been missing for well over a decade, since he retired Peace Like a River, is Jeff Kouba, one of my favorite writers in a medium and “scene” full of great writers.
And after at least a decade of trying, we’re going to fix that. Jeff starts writing at SITD later today. As with Mr. D and Ringer, it’s all whenever he feels like writing.
And I’ll be thrilled to see him back!
Check back later this morning.
[1] “But what about Joe Doakes?” He was, and remains, a reader who emails ideas that work as posts. Lots and lots of ’em. But he doesn’t want to be on the “staff”. Hey, material is material.
That’s great news!
Cool! I’ll look forward to checking Jeff out.
Geez, the people you meet at the gun range…
Welcome back, Jeff!
Maybe Jeff will look into this:
Biden administration prepares for potential mass migration at US-Mexico border after Covid rule ends
By Priscilla Alvarez, CNN – 12m ago
“The Biden administration is preparing for the potential of mass migration to the US-Mexico border when a Trump-era pandemic emergency rule ends, according to three sources familiar with discussions.
Border authorities have been relying on a public health order, known as Title 42, to turn away migrants at the US-Mexico border since March 2020, but as the pandemic landscape evolves, discussions about terminating that order have picked up speed, the sources said.”
“In a statement, White House spokesperson Vedant Patel said the administration is “doing (its) due diligence to prepare for potential changes at the border. That is good government in action.”
It’s Putin’s fault!
Jeff’s addition will be great, but what this bleg *really* needs is more photoshopped ultrasound pics and anthropomorphic cartoon penii
what this blog needs is a St. Patrick’s day post, and I deliver, you are welcome!

Bogus Diane? I thought it was Bogus Doug.
DiP, who are we to judge? Maybe Dog became a Diane. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

A quick Tijuana tuck and roll job fixed that

Well, how about that.
