A Dispatch From The Right Front

From time to time, I perform a vanity search over at Technorati, to see who might be talking about me because the usual deafening cybersilence keeps me humble — but not this time.

Wow! I’m getting famous! 56 days ago (I took a two-month break from the blogging thing), somebody who calls himself “The Formal Observer” actually took the time to write an article about little ol’ me, Margaret Romao Toigo — Liberal in Libertarian Clothing.

Mr. TFO flatters me as a “blogging diva” and “the darling of Blogcritics.org.” I had no idea that I had attained such a lofty status. I thought I was just another wannabe intellectual with a web server.

“She appears ‘fair and sensitive’ on the surface but she is poisoned at the soul because of her obvious and latent hatred for America’s traditional values. These are the people I most despise– the poseurs. Her viciousness is cloaked in this deceptive collegial discourse.”

If only I really had such power…
