Too much fun; enough is enough

Fun's fun, but it's time for us to move on -- us as in Template, the original member of what has become a group blog.

They say it's unsportsmanlike to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. We've spent too much time doing that.

Jessica McBride, our inspiration for Whallah!, continues to provide easy targets on a daily basis. A number of people, on this blog and elsewhere, regularly shoot down her sophomoric musings. That's a worthwhile effort; the public and the media need to be reminded continually that she is not to be taken seriously. There seem to be enough others who will do that, perhaps not with the zeal or frequency with which we have taken her on, but enough to maintain a check on at least the most incredible things she spouts.

We want to turn our attention elsewhere. Perhaps some more serious writing, perhaps more time and energy toward stopping the war in Iraq.

If there are others who would like to join the Whallah! family of contributors and keep the heat on Ms. McBride, just email us at Whallah@gmail.com and we'll tell you how to participate.

As McBride would say, oh reservoir.
