Some of My Best Friends are Heretics

Last evening turned out not to be a total loss after all. Firstly, Super Bowl XL was by most reports a mediocre contest, featuring an equally mediocre performance by the Rolling Stones during half time.

Secondly, I met the Godol Hador. (No, not Jon Stewart - though a solid performance hosting the Oscars later this month should confirm his place in the pantheon of Jewish cultural idols.)
I'm actually referring to an old friend who's established quite a name for himself among the Ortho-skeptics of the Blogosphere. His blog, Not the Godol Hador, made the top 10 in the Best Jewish Religion Blog category of the Jerusalem Post-sponsored 2005 Jewish and Israeli Blog Awards.

OK, it's not quite the Pulitzer, but 300,000 hits in the past 12 months are testament to his provocative, informed musings on inyanei d'yoma in the Orthodox world.

You might have that many hits too if you posted more than once a week! We want more! We want more! More! More! More! - Bayou_City_Ken

Thanks! But I'm not really a heretic, I just play one in the Blogosphere. And sometimes in real life too. Great seeing you guys at the wedding. And I echo anonymous - more posts = more hits. Simple math!

Thanks for the encouragement fellas. How's life at MOBI, Ken?

Everything is going very well. As I type this, I'm sitting across from your still vacant office. I'd bet that a half decent geneticist could recreate you from the massive amounts of DNA that remain. Of course, the clone could never have your keen wit and intellect! - Bayou_City_Ken

Probably just the lingering odour of Vegemite keeping that office empty...
