Give a Thumbs Up & Sub to Ladd & Don and maybe a five spot in Zilla’s old tip jar

A lot to do this morning so three quick things.

If you’re the least bit of a Trek fan you will want to take 20 minutes and watch Ladd Ehlinger’s bit on Star Trek 2 as the counter Trek that saved the franchise.

I can’t like and subscribe as I’m banned from Youtube but if you’re in a position to do so you can.

The Don Surber blog is still up but they’re already digging out old posts to give his strikes on (basically how they killed me on Youtube) but his substack account has been putting out winners daily including today’s post: “Invest in New Mexico, not Ukraine” which produced my pick for the “Quote of the Day”

Oddly enough, Biden’s sanctions pushed Putin to seek Xi’s help, reversing Nixon’s successful strategy of pitting the USSR against Red China. But then again, Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy for 50 years.

I say oddly because I do not know if this was the true goal of Biden because I don’t know who offered the bigger bribe.

Don is definitely worth a subscription if you can afford it you might consider a paid one.

Finally I don’t do a lot of tip jar shaking and given the state of DaTipJar it shows but let me instead make a pitch in a different direction.

Old Friend Zilla could use a buck or two. We’re hoping the bring here back here and she is trying to very slowing rebuild a life that has, to put it mildly, been shaken up

The tip jar has not gone up on the new site but it works fine on her old one so if you can top over and drop a fiver in there I’d consider it a favor but not as big a favor as she would .

Ok Technically Andrew wasn’t a candidate for the Republican nomination in Maine when this was shot, but he is now:

Don’t discount da bloggers when it comes to running. Maine is a lot smaller than California and anything can happen between now and then.

I owe my fellow bloggers an apology…

I have been very lax in linking them at CPAC as the sheer volume of video I have that needs uploading and labeling and organizing has pretty much blown me away, that and lack of sleep.

It goes without saying that you need to be reading Stacy McCain and his work and his play, lots of play.

Barbara Espinosa has been all over this stuff and Midnight Blue has not only been a very friendly person to sit with.

Katy’s conservative corner does great work and is a fine friend and Nice deb deserves more credit than she gets.

and to the many others from Steve Eggleston to Hot air who I have not mentioned or linked, let me say that you are a collection of the finest people I know and I’m proud to be associated with you.

Back from the Blogger round table at Linguini’s

Had a very pleasant time with the Right wing Gamer, Mitch Townsend of Chicagoboyz , libertarian Leanings Martin Soloman of Solomonia and neoneocon.

We ate Linguini’s Pizza and entrees and talked blogging and the Radio show (DaTechGuy on DaRadio). The nitty-gritty is that I’m hoping to have all of these fine bloggers as part of a rotating series of panelists on my second hour starting in February. All of this is in the semi planning stage but right now I’m leaning toward a panel for the first 2 segments of the 2nd hour and a final guest for the end or maybe going with 4 segments with a half hour with the panel, and two short guest segments, maybe an author and an advocate. I’m also thinking a local pol for a regular panelist to promote local readership since most advertisers are local.

I’m very interested in what my listeners have to say so if you have suggestions leave them in comments. Also if you are a New England Blogger interested in being on the panel or talking to me about the future of the show leave a comment and we can arrange to meet.
