In the Middle of the Malkin Melee

Liberal Avenger and MalkinWatch cross-posted an article containing persuasive evidence that the crap posted on Michelle Malkin's blog is generated by not lil' ol' Michelle herself but by Michelle and her hubby.

I guess if one person can excrete a pile of crap, two people can excrete an even bigger pile, right?

But "we at the Pepper" were pulled into the fray and compared to Malkin, etc. because I also use the "royal we," and the "royal we" is what tipped MalkinWatch off regarding Michelle's household help.

One respondent wrote:

"We at Pepper", Powerline, Vodkapundit, Instapundit and I'm damned sure any number of moonbat blogs do it all the time.

Well, I'm glad to see that I'm out and about. Not so happy to be compared to Powerline, though. But that's fine - I haven't been blogging for long, and I'm getting a crash course in the dangers of the "royal we." Plus, I'd rather not stoop to Malkin's level - not even accidentally.

Lest anyone think Dr. Pepper is feeding me lines, I will say that, on LA's site, I argued back that bloggers often use handles, like truck drivers in the CB radio days. "We at the Pepper" is simply a creative handle. Sometimes I'm the mighty "I," the "we at the Pepper," or the walrus (ha, ha).

It's fun, like saying "breaker, breaker" and "10-4" at random intervals. But I will try to use the "royal I" more often because I am the only one posting on this blog, and all guests are clearly identified.

Actually, Pepper, I used to use the royal we too. But, as I tried to hint at in the article - and as should become more clear in the next couple of days - the royal we was simply the icing on the evidentiary cake.
