I'm not ashamed of how I spend my time, the quality of work I bring to the site, or the level of intellectual engagement we at Alltooflat provide. We do what we like to do, and we are glad you the readers seem to enjoy it. So, what I'm about to say is in no way self-deprecatory; I'm very comfortable with myself and the site.

But you being here is a complete waste of your time. Right at this very moment, you could be at Lileks.com. In fact, I can only think of a couple of reasons that you shouldn't be there:

You are on the precipice of death with a medical condition which is aggravated by laughter

You are punishing yourself for bad acts in a former life

You are a dirty commie

As far as I can tell, those are the only reasons for not reading the site. It's funny, incredibly smart, really on point politically (there are some sections which are exclusively political commentary. But really well written), and really funny [sic]. I'm only a few pages into it, but I heartily suggest the Screed archive, the Institute of Official Cheer, and giving him money."
