Maggie's Farm

With our rapidly swelling readership, we are accumulating some complaints.  First, from "wishes to be anonymous":

1. "Are you aware you have tons of extreme right-wing links?"

Dear Anonymous Reader:

We are unaware of any "right-wing" links. We have a variety of politically centrist, moderate links about which only a crank could complain, along with a large number of useful and important non-political links. If you think these are right-wing, you ain't seen right-wing.  We firmly reject all extremism except in the defense of freedom, or in the protection of our little bowl of kibbles.

Second, from journalist JR:

2. "You need to find your "voice." Your blog is too random".

Dear JR:

No kidding. But with contributors including miscellaneous breeds of dogs, farmers, physicians, etymologists, entomologists, insurance salesmen, college kids, bird-watchers, hunters, idle rich, equity traders, serfs, clergy, southern rebels, Democrats, small children and juvenile adults, moguls, movie stars, Box Turtles, etc. etc., it is tough to find a single "voice."  Don't hold your breath. Anyway, a petty consistency is the hobgoblin of small blogs, so please don't throw out the dishes with the baby-water.
