Not everyone is familiar with blogosphere etiquette, so I'm saying this with a helpful spirit. It's generally considered quite rude to send trackback pings to a post without actually linking to it.

Patterico now displays a mug shot of one of those nasty third-strikers who would have been freed if Proposition 66 had passed. Or something like that. Read More
I have decided to vacate my seat on the Watcher's Council. I don't have the time anymore to give the Council the attention it deserves. I also think it's time to give another blogger the exposure that comes with a... Read More
