This is the one-hundredth post published to Potpourri for $500. I had hoped to reach this marker earlier, but it was not for lack of JJV's posts. Indeed, I am faced with another backlog of unbelievable obituaries and other such news from hither and yon, but I promise to get those out to you as soon as I can, as they are both of high quality and timeless to boot.
A couple of minor administrative notes. First, JJV's snide reference to the reach and impact of my blog has been enshrined in a modified form on the masthead, in return for which I bounced one of his submissions back to him for excessive rightwingedness. Second, I have added a link to a new site pertaining to the fraternity I joined at Hamilton College. I may take the time to write a bit more on the subject at some point, but eccentric overachieving British soldiers keep dying so it is a tricky situation.
Anyway, many thanks to old and new readers alike. Please keep in mind that your initials do not have to be JJV for input to be accepted; in fact, it may actually be an advantage. Send 'em to dmsblogmail-at-yahoo-dot-com and we'll do the rest!

"Excessive rightwingedness?" Such a thing does not exist. Like too rich, too much sex, or too low a marginal rate the concept is meaningless.
It was all about Churchill being a honorary Virginian. It was really cool. There is only one response to this type of editorial tyranny.
WOLVERINES!

Another response would be for me to remove the above comment but I am not that tyrannical.
There was something else in the article that set me off but I can't remember what it was. I think you will generally find me in the pro-Churchill camp.
Firstly, more than 6 read (at least by one);
Secondly, "Excessive rightwingedness," a bit redundant, no?
JJV was referring to the total number of readers of this blog, not the number of posts. Although I worry sometimes that the number of readers may exceed the number of posts if I don't start dealing with the backlog soon.
