Stop the presses! Is this the last link list?
We’re cooking up a partnership that could mean more people than ever would get to share in what we’ve been doing here for five years. Just think of the larger number of people who would get saved just clicking on these same stories. They might not even have to click; conviction might come just by reading the teasers.
Really, why are we considering this? It’s about power and the ability to take bribes to promote various blogs and websites.
So stay tuned. Same bat time. Same bat channel. But maybe not actually same bat channel.
