SteveAudio adds bloggers
SteveAudio, Los Angeles blogger and all-around nice guy, has expanded his blog to a group effort to accommodate three new bloggers. You can find his blog here, as well as on our world-renowned blogroll, which is over on the left right side of this page.
Steve was long on our blogroll on the now-defunct Martini Republic, and SteveAudio is always worth a read.
P: I like his blog, but his use of political anonybloggers is quite disconcerting.
RM: Just for the record, the rest of us (presumably) can discern our left from right. But as I understand it, this kind of rank disorientation is common among gutless, anonyblogging weasels.
Grazie!
I have been missing Martini Republic so much, so ran a search today, and came up with this.
I wonder how you can combine the terms “nice guy” and “Martini Republic” with all the offensive tripe you seem to relish so much at this worthless site. You seem to oblivious to the requirement of ideals and ideas in a “revolution;” all you’ve got here is tasteless anarchy.

That’s an interesting story, Kathleen. Ran a search? There’s a link to this page from http://www.martinirepublic.com.
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all you’ve got here is tasteless anarchy.
Yes. Isn’t that wonderful?
Actually, I stopped reading after “I have been missing Martini Republic…” If you missed it so goddamn much, why’d it take you this long to notice it was gone?
Kathleen, or should I say “Kathleen” — since we all know there’s only one person capable of writing that badly — do you also miss excreted waste?
I don’t believe I know you, admin, so I’ll have to imagine that something terrible must have happened to you to make you behave in such a rude manner to someone you’ve never met. Please allow me to correct a few points of misapprehension:
I didn’t just today notice that Martini Republic is gone — I said that I have been missing it, meaning I lament its absence in the world. My search had been an attempt to find other people who were saddened by the lack of it as well, and so I googled the phrase, with the stipulation of the last two weeks.
On the subject of my writing, I beg forgiveness for having offended you with my untutored words (and a typo), despite your lack of regret over intended offense.
My name, which you oddly seem to question, is the same as it has been for all 50 years of my life.
Wondering what happened at the fine Martini Republic has been a subject of some interest and speculation within the circle of my intimates, but we need wonder no more. The incivility expressed here today in response to a single, brief comment has spoken volumes.
It would be nice if, when you toss about such uglliness, you did not hide it behind the anonymous shield of “admin.” By the way, if you so urgently know the need to trade in “excreted matter,” feel free to call me (I’ve always had a listed number) that you might say these things to me absent your disguise.

Wonder no more.
Joseph Mailander quit the Martini Republic blog, then got drunk, acted like a complete asshole to people associated with the blog and then finally destroyed it.

Sorry.

Perhaps I can help:
“Nice guy” refers to SteveAudio and not us malevolent tripists.
“Martini Republic” was not nice, which I believe was one of its charms.
Since, in point of fact, we are talking about two different entities, which you’ve somehow managed to confuse into some primordial soup of opinion AND taste, much like Bermudian fish chowder, no other linkage need be made.
Now, eat your chowder, quietly.
Wow! I just got up and have been missin’ ALL the fun. In fact, Kathleen, we were blamed for driving you and a short list of others (your intimates?) away. I guess Alex can take that stripe off his uniform, since you found us.
There’s plenty of other civil, dull, and polite blogs out there - you found us, so I’m sure you can find another that will put you to sleep with such horizontal-inducing tales of trees, birds, and tamale-thieving submission.

Curiouser and curiouser . . . You speak as if you think you know me, and I’m sure you do not. In the years of reading Martini Republic, I think I left comments three or four times, and the sum total of all the comments I’ve ever left anywhere on the internet is maybe ten. The last person I knew named Donna was my upstairs neighbor, Pasadena, the ’80s, and the last Alex I knew was an employee of mine in the early ’90s.
You speak as if you think you know me, and I’m sure you do not.
No, she isn’t speaking as if she knows you. She’s speaking as if someone accused us of driving you away from the blog.
Which was indeed very odd because none of us here knew who the hell Kathleen was and why her readership was more important than hundreds of other readers who liked the old blog the way it was.
