Q: Is that your final answer?

A: Who cares!? Screw this dump, I'm blogging for radosh.net now!

Yes, while Daniel is busy with his new job at some late-night basic-cable thing Craig Kilborn threw together (and, uhh, good luck with all that), he's invited me and a handul of his other regular commenters to help fill in. I'm kind of torn about the whole thing, because while it's nice to finally be read by people I would actually want to be friends with, rather than just my actual friends, it's kind of disappointing to learn that my longtime favorite blog has been reduced to the indignity of being written by me. But hey, if you aren't already a Radosh reader, come check it out.

In other news, I have retroactively been named to Time's best blogs of 2008! It's such an honor to finally have been recognized a year ago. But then it's still kind of a step down, considering that in 2006 I was person of the year.

Will I ever blog here again? Probably not, at least until Radosh changes his mind and deletes my account. In other words, see you here next week.

But seriously, I'm going to be blogging here semi-regularly, because I'm pretty rusty when it comes to writing anything longer than 140 characters, and I'd like to get around to posting matters of actual substance rather than just jokes about Lou Dobbs. Of course, there will still be plenty of jokes about Lou Dobbs.

I just remembered that no one actually comes here anymore, and that I'm basically talking to myself. Whatever. On that note, please don't forget to buy peanut butter. We've been out for awhile. Also, you need to make a dental appointment ASAP, whatever's going on with that tooth cannot possibly be healthy.

Q: What is the most infuriating story you'll read in 2007?

A: It's still early, and there's plenty of 2007 left to be infuriated by, but I doubt you'll come across a story more absurdly, pointlessly horrible than that of Genarlow Wilson, the African-American former honor student currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for having received a blow job from a 15-year-old when he was 17.

No, you didn't misread that. Wilson's been in prison two years already.

Journalist Wright Thompson has the whole story, currently parked front and center on ESPN.com (and getting the bejeezus dugg out of it on Digg -- for the second time in as many months). Read it and weep.

It's about time this story is drumming up the attention/indignation it deserves, and you have to believe/hope something will be done to grant Wilson his freedom, and soon. But until that day, all the coverage in the world can't possibly provide due consolation for a young man so ruthlessly hijacked by the justice system.

RELATED: I first discovered the Genarlow Wilson story last month in the New York Times, via this tangentially related Daniel Radosh post on the fascinating complexities of kiddie porn laws.

I've been meaning to bring these topics over to T.A.M.S.Y., but they're such a Pandora's box can of worms (see: the crazed long-windedness of my response to Radosh) that I kept putting it off. Misguided sex laws drive me absolutely insane. Now that I've brought this up, expect me to never shut up about it ever again.
