Never give up! Never surren–Ooooooo! Loose change and Cheerios!

It goes without saying that we all miss Satchmo terribly (and I promise I’ll get back to him later this week) but we need to get back to business. And, if you’re like me, nothing quite makes the sun come from out behind the clouds like making fun of stupid people.

I like to think of it as a simple old-fashioned virtue.

So let’s talk about the Twitiots.

As noted before, a group of socially maladjusted Republicans are holed in their chambers and are….well nobody really knows or cares what they’re planning to do but I bet it’s awesome. And who is cheering on these brave Republican patriots besides the pool boys, gardeners, UPS drivers , and cable men who are servicing the congressmen’s wives while the congressmen spend their days making Congressional Couch Forts of Freedom? Why, that would be the Twitidiots at #dontgo which is more than a internet site; it’s a movement that has clothes and stuff so it must be for reals.

And as #dontgoazoid Eric Odom points out:

The CNN story went live just after the site was opened up, and the story was followed by The Next Right, Red State, Politico, Michelle Malkin, HotAir, Washington Examiner, and scores of bloggers. This wave of attention sent more than 60,000 unique visits to our site within 24 hours.

Yesterday I spent hours and hours trying to answer email all day long, and the support we have received has been nothing short of encouraging in every way possible.

Now we have an e-mail list that is well over 10,000 strong, our e-mail RSS subscriber list is about 1,200 strong, and we have a Twitter army that simply has yet to be matched in size.

Of course as we have seen with other wingnut Potemkin sites like The Victory Caucus, that first flush of attention all to often tends to wane and flag like an unViagra’d Bob Dole dick.

That isn’t to say that #soontobeabandoned doesn’t have a smooth pitch:

That video (posted on YouTube since 8/9) has chalked up a whole…(carry the three…) 496 hits which is less than half the hits than the basset video from below which went up this afternoon.

I guess when they learned how to Twitter it forced the ability to use teh YouTube out of their brains. Technology can do that to people. No. Really. It can…

Two more things before I go. You can find works of genius here and here.
