There have been some comments about our posts that we feel we should address. We think it will help you understand the situation more clearly.

Someone said this in Comments;
Jeez AAR, can we got a new guest blogger, pleeze?

There is a reason each thread gets only one or two posts ( if that). Spanky here is posting a new one every 5 minutes and they are becoming more irrelevant by the minute.
A good guest blogger posts about 5 threads A DAY. Spamming up the boards with lame ass threads makes you annoying, not a brilliant writer.
And these jackholes have the nerve to hit us up for money. Never seen a blogger on AAR be so short on class.

To clarify, we planned on holding our fundraiser long before we knew we'd be guest-blogging at AA. The straw that broke the fundraiser's back was one of our computer's crashed, and in order to post, a new one was needed. GottaLaff is borrowing one now to post this very message as we speak. The fundraiser posts were only meant for our Political Carnival readers, not for AA readers. We're sorry if that wasn't clear, but we have no control over what goes up at AA. In fact, some of the posts that have been under our name were not from our blog.

As far as the "spamming"... each blog has their own style. We have been thrilled that our readership has tripled in the past month or so, and much of that is due to our ability to put up "breaking news". Others have linked to us for that very reason.

We try our best to keep the stories coming, because we feel that our readers should be informed.

We also combine humor, and even some much-needed silliness, with the serious news of the day. Our readers seem to appreciate that, and we appreciate them. If that is not appealing to anyone, please, feel free to move on to another post. We understand that we can't please everyone.

With that, we thank you sincerely for allowing us to share our thoughts with Air America. The more voices out there, the better, whether we agree with each other or not.

I'm looking for a happy medium here.

The weekday postings get spread too thin with a new thread every few minutes, especially when there are multiple threads on the same subject. As Non said 6 or 8 posts is a good number. More is OK for breaking news if it's real news or for really popular topics.

On the other hand, a few fresh posts on the weekend are more than welcome. When the Friday posts hang over, we can get 3-400 response in a thread with maybe 20 on the original subject. That's gets very difficult to keep a debate going and find response to your statements.
