To be able to say "Noggle," you first must be able to say "Nah."
I recently realized that when I set up the blog, it failed to import the first two months of the old Blogspot blog. In correcting it, I’ve re-imported the whole kit and kaboodle again, resulting in double posts for the years 2003-2009.
I’ll get around to fixing that soon. Most of you live in the present, though, and won’t see a difference.

Ravenwood is still running Ravenwood’s Universe?
He’s still got my wife’s picture rotating in his FemmeBlogger’s section, which brings back some awefully nice memories of that black dress.
I’ve added him back to my new blogroll as a daily read. Check him out.

Just to be sure, I want to point out that there are absolutely no nude Playboy pictures of Ashley Dupre in this spot.
I just want to point out there are no Ashley Dupre Playboy images here.
Also, there are no:
You will, however, find a photo of my wife’s legs which once made it up to number one on Google image search for wife legs.

In a post, he uses the Ren and Stimpy catchphrase, “Happy Happy Joy Joy.”
Thank you, Professor Reynolds, for boosting my retirement portfolio, which at this point includes some Ren & Stimpy #1 comic books.
You don’t expect Social Security to keep me in bon bons and Depends, do you?
UPDATE: Professor Reynolds also boost my traffic. Thanks, Professor. Hey, you, if you’re in IT, check out my web log QA Hates You. You want some cool t-shirts and paraphernalia? Check out these things. QA hate propaganda? Get that here.

Over at Outside the Beltway, Dr. James Joyner defenestrates the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart for hyperbole in blog titles.
Well, not really, since the playback is in the same window as the original post. But I wish we could see some post headlines that refer to defenestration more.
But I fear that energy efficient windows and closed HVAC-based environments have taken this word from our national vocabulary.
Meanwhile, as the link above throws the target site out of the current window, I have virtual defenestrated Dr. Joyner.

My new blog on the beading hobby is launched: The Beading Will Continue.
I’m also scheduling times and dates for readers to kick my nancy-boy crafting butt. Please note that the backlog is already to October, 2011.

It’s similar to a Googlebomb or a Googlewhack, but it’s this: when someone tries to find a set of search terms to use to conduct a Google search that will link to a certain blog so that you can see if your search terms appear in that blog’s round-up of weird search engine queries.
For example:
betty naked with Mr Weatherbee.
Other blogs to try this with include Munchkin Wrangler and View from the Porch.
I know, you think I have too much time on my hands. The problem is that I don’t have enough time on my hands to do anything productive. Instead, I have just enough time to come up with harebrained schemes like this.

You know, President Obama was apparently on the television doing an hour-long presentation about health care control. And you know what I find a telling statistic about the perceived importance of this event?
Where were the drunkbloggers?
VodkaPundit didn’t cover it. Instapundit didn’t link to any.
It cannot be an important policy presentation without drunkblogging.
Ergo, nobody in the blogosphere must have taken it seriously.

You know, you would think, “What’s there for Brian not to like?” It’s a Web site with cat pictures and captions with a name sort of like an affinity to one of my blogs: MyCatHatesYou.com.
I mean, it’s meh a bit relative to ICanHasCheezburger.com and StuffOnMyCat.com. But I tolerated it for a few clicks until I got to this entry.

Well, no, not so much. That’s just juvenile, really. I mean, I do from time to time run to a little schizophrenic satire about politicians with whom I do not agree, but simply saying Fuck <politician> isn’t any sort of intelligent humor no matter how you package it, Ms. Cho.
Maybe the site will be worthwhile after the author emerges from puberty at the age of 40 or so.

Gender Analyzer is 100% sure this site is written by a man.
That’s higher than the industry average.
Meanwhile, my other blog with the word Hate right in its title, only scores 89%.

Well, not really, but the Sarah Palin thing has really affected the base. How do I know? VenomKate has gone all-Palin, all-the-time (I need room for one more link, so here it is).
Previously, she’d been down on the party and down on Bush, but now she’s onboard for Old Dude/Naughty Librarian 2008.

CB, because some of the people we know in common read this blog daily, thinks I have pull, so he keeps sending me tips like this:
my buddy’s blog he just created http://antiobamassiah.wordpress.com/
As though a mention on this blog will send torrents of readers his way.
Brother, I see your antiobamassiah and raise you Michelle Obama Suicide Watch.

Deb of Boondoggled recently became a grandmother, which means this will be her first Christmas picking out gifts for a grandchild. As she lacks experience at this, we at MfBJN thought we’d share a little advice.
Anything on this list would be perfect.

Sorry, I seem to have deployed some confusing sarcasm with this post. Here’s how the Kansas City Star‘s Prime Buzz characterizes it:
Musings from Brian J. Noggle contends that cutting the most expensive people from the public health care rolls is not a solution.
Allow me to be clear: The solution is to cut them all and allow the free market to bring prices down. If people cannot afford it, families and charities cover. Government programs will eventually either tax the citizenry to death or have to use faceless and blameless bureaucratic means to cuts costs, which means denying health care to expensive cases.
Cutting the most expensive people from the public health care rolls is a solution. An efficient government solution that actually replicates the practices of the private industry it’s trying to replace.

Remember that Stupid as Kryptonite (or some such) guy? In the old days, apparently people linked to him and he got an early paid blogging job for a left-leaning consortium or something? You ever wonder what happened to him?
Me, either; I didn’t think about him until he sent me an e-mail trying to sell me counterfeit software:
Oh, how the mitey have fallen.
