No, you did not go to the wrong blog by mistake.

Me brudder was nice enough to design a new Blogger template for Confederate Yankee, which gives me much wider margins for my typically text-heavy posts. Hopefully this will make things a bit easier to read, if not easier to always swallow.

I just sent the following letter to Google Adsense Support via their "Send us your question" form:

This is not a question, but a statement.

Google News has now added neo-Nazis (National Vanguard) to their index of approved news sources. I, and hopefully other bloggers have tired of an arcane and apparently senseless news source approval process from Google News, that refuses to carry nationally-recognized columnists such as Michelle Malkin, or top bloggers like Instapundit, but that appears more than willing to carry a hotbed of conspiracy theories such as the Democratic Underground.

Quite simply, it doesn't make sense, and verges on the intellectually dishonest.

I am behind Jeff Jarvis' call for transparency, and therefore, I am dropping Google Ads from my blog until this much-needed transparency is provided. I know the few hits I provide will not be missed by your advertisers, but that really isn't the point, is it?

Good day.

If you are a blogger living in the Mid-Hudson Valley area (particularly Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties) then be sure to check in with the Times Herald-Record. They are trying to find out about local blogs in the region, and may be interested in getting in touch with you for a future story.

If you are a mid-Hudson blogger in one of these counties or know someone who is, write to egliedman@th-record.com and give them your URL and blog name.

Sorry for the light posting, but I'm tied up in research all day.

I'm busy working on a potential blockbuster of an article that could tie a prominent congressional Democrat to Osama bin Laden in Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

And no, you shouldn't take this too seriously.

Unless it's true...


Now, what was that old Styx tune again?
