You can blame my web hosting company for missing your May Day edition of the blog. I need to quit procastinating and find myself a new hosting service. Affordablehost , my current provider, used to be excellent, but the quality of their technical support has steadily deteriorated over the past year.
When I started writing this blog, I didn’t really intend for it to be an educational resource. My initial motivation could be summed up in the following formula:
Blogging + ? = PROFIT! (oh, and GIRLS!)
But apparently, the youth of America are mining a rich vein of academic material from my daily blathering. Or at least one youth is. A couple weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Aviva, a college sophomore who was writing a paper about me and my blog. She sent me the final version of her paper today and it’s insightful and, I must admit, flattering. In my completely unbiased opinion, she deserves an A. I look forward to the day when major universities offer seminars on my varied contributions to American culture and politics and scholars pore over my collected writings in hopes of gleaning some fresh perspective on my character that might have been overlooked in the innumerable treatises and books devoted to my singular life.
Try Dreamhost.com – very affordable, generous with space and bandwidth, and flawless support. Oh, and if you enter code FLAT50 you’ll get $50 off and send me so love too! But even if you don’t use the code, you should still use Dreamhost.
I came to your blog via “my disability blog”.
I just wanted to say, you have a wonderful site!

Thanks for the claim to fame, Mark. I’ll send the link to my teacher, and hope she takes your ‘unbiased’ advice!
You might want to try Pair (www.pair.com). The rates are very reasonable. I was referred to them by someone who runs an editorial travel site and he said they have nearly 100% uptime. I’ve found this to be true. I agreed with your assessment of United 93 btw. The writing on your blog is excellent.
