Revenge of the Clonebots, or How to Do Full Metal Jacket Saturday By Hand

Smitty is out of town again this weekend, and e-mailed me before he left town that it was “tits up” for the Technorati clonebot army with which he usually compiles the Rule 2 Reach-Around weekly round-up.

However, rather than break the Saturday link-back tradition, I’m going to attempt to compile the round-up manually, like I did back in the Dark Ages before we had Smitty’s high-tech assistance. We’re rockin’ it Old School, homies. This will take hours to complete, with repeated updates. But be patient and check back, and we’ll try get to everyone eventually, in a more-or-less random fashion:

• Rude News is compiling a history of “The American Emperor” that included some linky-love for us. He also linked Shanna Moakler nude, which has something to do with Keith Olbermann being a “whiny bitch.”
• Troglopundit linked relentlessly this week, including his latest about the eye-popping effrontery of Obama.
• Charles G. Hill liked Smitty’s take on Pelosi as “Wicked Witch.”
• Jimmie at Sundries Shack also digs the PelosiFest.
• We made the Friday round-up at No Runny Eggs. (Flashback: I remember about a year ago, when other bloggers first started linking me in their round-ups. It was just the coolest, to see your stuff linked right there along with bloggers you’d been reading for years. Nostalgic sigh.)
• Obi’s Sister liked the “Road to Weimar” metaphor for Obamanomics.
• Carol of No Sheeples Here links us in a new update on “Muslim Day” in Hawaii, revealing the deceitfulness with which that identity-politics scam was accomplished.
• The Seven Deadly Sins blog asks, “Where’s my million hits, dude?” I would tell you to be patient and diligent, but since patience and diligence are virtues . . .

OK, that is a mere beginning of the sprawling, comprehensive roundup that will be compiled through successive updates, as I laboriously do this reach-around by hand. (Heh.)

UPDATES TO COME . . .

Republicans ‘begging’ Erick Erickson to shut down Facebook protest of NRSC

You may remember my reaction when the “treacherous bastards” at the National Republican Senatorial Committee endorsed Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate race — 15 months before the primary!

Erick Erickson of Red State started a Facebook group to protest the NRSC’s endorsement of Crist, and Erick just sent this message to group members:

Subject: They are listening
I’ve been getting all sorts of emails begging me to shut this group down.
Instead, please consider inviting ten friends each.
The NRSC will not listen to us unless we help shut down their fundraising. You can help.
Thanks,
Erick

Meanwhile, there is a new blog HQ for the grassroots anti-NRSC protest: NOT ONE RED CENT.

UPDATE: John Hawkins of Right Wing News is circulating this petition:

Dear Senator Cornyn,
We the undersigned believe that the National Republican Senatorial Committee should be committed to serving ALL the members of the Republican Party.
Additionally, the NRSC should be focused on defeating Democrats, not Republicans. Towards that end, we believe it was completely inappropriate for the NRSC to endorse a candidate in the Florida primary race.
Therefore, we request that both you and the NRSC alter your position on the Florida Senate race, maintain neutrality, and promise to spend no money directly or indirectly in that race.

Things are getting hot for Cornyn and the NRSC.

UPDATE II: Welcome, Instapundit readers! Please also see my post at Hot Air Green Room: “Behind the ‘Not One Red Cent’ Rebellion.”

UPDATE III: Red Hot at Red State. And a Memeorandum thread. Certain left-wing bloggers are laughing, failing to understand what this is about. It is good that they don’t understand.

UPDATE IV: Welcome, Ann Coulter readers!
