It's Time To Review A Crucial Cake Eater Chronicles Policy

This was sent to the Cake Eater Inbox yesterday from the Eibensteiner/Hoplin mailing list. I waited until today to post on it because I did not want to inadvertently give them precisely what they were looking for when they sent this email:

Eric Hoplin will be on Fox News this afternoon with Neil Cavuto discussing the importance of reforming social security.

Your World with Neil Cavuto starts at 3:00 PM CT and is replayed at
midnight.

Also, Eric's wife Nicole has written a great letter regarding Ann Coulter's recent visit to the University of St. Thomas that has been posted on the Power Line blog.{...}

Since I have NO idea who these people are, Doug was good enough to inform me that Eibensteiner and Hoplin are the Minnesota State Republican Party Chair and Vice Chair respectively.

Grrrrrrr. Rant ahead. Consider yourselves warned.

RE: Promotional Emails

To Whom It May Concern:

I have officially HAD IT with you people sending me emails, looking for cheap PR.

Please read this, and then this.

I cannot tell you how badly this frustrates me.

I do not care about your world, AKA the inbred world of Minnesota Politics. I don't care about what issue you're plugging today that you think signals the sky is going to fall down hard on all of us. I don't care about how you think same-sex marriage is truly going to bring Armageddon on us. I do not care about how Ann Coulter was "abused" at St. Thomas. I do not have a shrine to Sarah Janacek set up in the Cake Eater Pad. Most importantly, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR PISSANT LITTLE AGENDAS. They bore me to tears. They always HAVE bored me to tears, hence I don't write about them. Did you get that or SHOULD I REPEAT MYSELF ONCE MORE? I'll repeat myself. I DO NOT WRITE ABOUT MINNESOTA POLITICS! IT BORES ME. Since this is MY blog, and not YOUR free PR outlet, I shall declare what is worthy subject matter and NOT YOU! Did you get it this time? I would hope so, or I'm really going to reconsider voting for your party next time around.

Furthermore, it would behoove you to learn which blogs do care about such things. There are PLENTY of them out there. Trust me on this one. There are many, many bloggers who would love to receive your promotional emails. That you haven't figured this out yet just signals to me that you have absolutely no clue as to what the blogosphere is all about. If you actually read the blogs you are so interested in courting favor with you would---A-freakin-HEM---already know that you will gain no purchase here.

Consider yourselves warned. The next time I get an email from ANY Minnesota politico, I will mock it. And believe me, you don't want that. If you think this post is harsh, just you wait.

Go elsewhere with your crap. Reading Powerline does not mean you are well-informed on how the blogosphere works. It just means you are, like Jane, an ignorant slut.
