Apparently in a past life I've run over somebody's dog or something because despite two well-written and well-thought-out e-mails, I have been unable to get WisOpinion.com to add me to their blog roll. Now, I don't expect every blog or website that I list in the sidebar to link back to me. If I did, some people would get some serious e-mails and my blog roll would look like a strobe light. Occasionally I've "begged" but it's been in good fun and if they didn't link to me, no hard feelings.
Heck, for the longest time I ran this blog without a blog roll, comments, or even readers. :)
But this has now become a matter of pride. It's not like WisOpinion.com doesn't update their blog roll frequently. It's not like they have standards, given some of the blogs they have on the list. Some of the blogs on their list stopped updating when their Commodore 64 died.
And so, I'm asking others to do my dirty work. You can e-mail WisOpinion.com at info@wispolitics.com. If you would like, the following sample letter is available for you to use:
Dear Wisopinion.com:
James Wigderson is one of the most insightful bloggers in Wisconsin, and certainly has a way with words. He thinks you're really neat, but he's tired of sucking up to you. You should add his blog to the blogroll because it will really enhance your website. Besides, the word "library" will make your site look more intellectual.
Did I mention James Wigderson is really funny? Everybody thinks so. Even the state elections board. So won't you please add the Wigderson Library & Pub to the blog roll so he stops his whining?
BTW, Wigderson apologizes for throwing the empty vodka bottles on your lawn the last time he was in town. He heard people in Madison were into recycling.
