GWBush04.com Update

Just want to take a moment to thank John F for being the force keeping this place going. Me, I’ve been spending most of my free time trying to turn GWBush04.com into a viable, visible, and funny site.

And things are going well. Traffic is up, the liberal blogosphere is taking notice, and hate mail is trickling in. I truly appreciate every link I get to GWBush04. Thus, I’d like to send a shout-out to skippy the bush kangaroo, Democratic Veteran, and uggabugga. All three should be visited regularly, in my opinion. Bookmark ‘em.

Backing up, and speaking of John’s devotion to all my wacky web projects, there’s the newest: DEANfilter.com. In my absence (while I’ve been trying to make the funny), John has pretty much been running the place by himself.

DEANfilter.com is designed to be a cool site when it has lots of traffic. The “hook” is supposed to be that you contribute your own news, and post/read comments, and you get to moderate other comments — more like slashdot than a true “filter” site. It still hasn’t taken off: it needs more traffic, active posters, and maybe even a few more admins to help John out.

If you’re interested, head over to DEANfilter.com, sign up for a free account, and submit some news. If you want to try being an admin, your test is to start a new topic in the forums over there telling us about yourself. Good luck.

Hey. thanks for the props, Toe.... I realize you've got tons to do (personally and trying to keep GWbush04.com in the headlines :) ) and I've been trying to contribute where I can and when I can (though finding noteworthy news stuff sometimes has escaped me).

No prob. Sometimes I feel like I can be a superhuman and run everything at once, but I'm starting to mature in that area -- and realize that I can only completely focus on one thing at a time. The smartest thing I ever did in this regard was realizing that I need help. :)
