Secret of my success?

Little Miss Atilla:
For what it's worth, the man can also hold his liquor better than most; that's probably how he gets his scoops.
She's grading on a curve. "Better than most" is a term of art when you're talking about bloggers. Last year in Santa Barbara, Miss Atilla and I were present when Jeff Goldstein got into the whiskey and went berserk like Led Zeppelin on their '71 tour. And then in February at CPAC, Miss Atilla ended up at a private after-party with some of my friends and she went berserk like Zeppelin in '71.

So unless you get hammered like a sophomore at a Teke kegger, that counts as "holding your liquor" in blogworld.

  1. FWIW, I hope it's well aged The Macallan or the The Glenlivet if true. It would be disappointing if it were something like Budweiser.

  2. I think bloggers should be rated accodring to not only to what they write but why they write. If bloggers are trying to attract readership in order to develop commercial value, they really aren't honest (sort of like politicians and prostitutes, more so politicians). Then again, perhaps, even without ulterior motives, we are all whores? Maybe, a little, though there is certainly better and not better.
