Samuarai Frog<\/a> to my blogroll, in my attempt to see all sides of the Simian issue.<\/p>\nNow, Dr. Von Monkerstein and Samurai Frog have graciously added *me* to their blogrolls. And as for the blogroll of Dr. Zaius? The tumbleweeds blow there, having not felt the life-giving moisture of Splotchy.<\/p>\n
Why, do you ask? I do not know. I *do* know that in a hotly-contested political race, all votes are precious. Perhaps even more important than my vote is my influence. Dr. Zaius, do you want the full force of the Splotchy apparatus upon your simian head? For example, do you want me training my ample resources on investigating the status of your US citizenship? I think not.<\/p>\n
There is an easy remedy to the sticky wicket you find yourself in, Zaius.<\/p>\n
Add me to your blogroll, and I promise to advocate fairness and reasoned discussion, and will represent the views of both yourself and Von Monkerstein honestly.<\/p>\n
If not, you’re in for a big shitstorm.<\/p>\n
Best Regards,<\/p>\n
