Mad Blog Media: Belt and suspenders

Belt and suspenders

Here's your head, there's the keyboard, what's your hurry?

Technology being what it is — a fickle hoor with round heels, a substance-abuse problem and the rent 10 days late — this is something of a backstop to WordPress's plans to reconfigure its content-management system on Thursday.

This may throw a hitch into the gitalong over at the usual place.

I'm not hep to the latest jive, but I believe the folks who run a self-hosted WP model have the option of reverting to the original CMS via plug-in. I'm not certain that will work for those of us who suffer from sloth, torpor and and a tendency to pinch the eagle until it screams like a blogger who just had his CMS jerked out from under him.

So look for me here if you can't find me there.

What's all this then?

After spending decades with my scabby snout pressed to various grindstones of journalism, I sport plenty of mental scar tissue, a good deal less hair to cover it, and an undiminished appreciation for three subsets of the craft: drawing cartoons, monging rumors, and writing headlines.

And thanks to the Internet, the best thing to happen to journalism since the invention of movable type, I get to do all three of them without having to return to work at a newspaper, where management has slowly devolved into a button-down mutant hybrid of the worst aspects of the Spanish Inquisition, the dental bits in “Marathon Man” and the highway department of your choice.

Feel free to peruse my pointless harangues at your leisure, but be advised that they contain toxic quantities of disrespectful parody and rude satire certain to cause grievous harm to the humorless clots of tight-sphinctered ninnies whose breaking of wind only dogs can hear. Mad Dog Media neither sells nor installs senses of humor . . . we simply service them.
