Blogroll Amnesty Day
I’m not entirely sure what this is about, but it’s Skippy’s idea. And you know I do whatever Skippy says.
In keeping with the spirit of the day, I want to give a shout out to some blogs on my blogroll that don’t get the attention they deserve. So, give it up for Philosopher’s Playground, the Grumpy Forrester, The 10,000 Things, Fallenmonk, Folkbum’s Rambles and Rants, and Ratiocination by our own Biggerbox.
And I’m adding a new blog: Badtux the Snarky Penguin. I love cute animals.
Ok, I’ll bite. But do I have to remove you then add you again tomorrow morning if I want persuade you to add me?
You would get my gratitude and an asterix, as persons who mutually blogroll me get an asterix, which you don’t presently have. I realize it’s not an awesome inducement, but my budget is modest. I can also offer a GIF of a package of Lorna Doone cookies, unless you object to Nabisco, et al.(But they are yummy.)

Thank you very much for writing about this. If you are wondering what the origins of this day are, this post explains some of the background:

OK, Jonathan, I will accept the GIF of Lorna Doones.

Off-topic because I don’t have a clue of what blogroll amnesty is:
This comes from ThinkProgress - Bill Kristol argued that Clinton would not be a valuable vice presidential pick because she lacks support beyond the “Democratic establishment and white women.”

Are you ever going to re-add blogs you used to have on your blogroll which haven’t gone inactive? Or have I done something that no longer makes me a Great Dame?

Oh, Bonnie - that made me laugh!
