I was a bit surprised to realize that the third Blogiversary of Mad Kane’s Political Madness is coming up on September 23rd. Of course, I’ve been blogging a whole lot longer than three years: I launched my Mad Kane’s Notables Blog<\/a> back in September 2001 and started Dubya’s Dayly Diary<\/a> on January 20, 2001. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I figured I’d do a bit of housekeeping in anticipation of my Political Madness blogiversary. So I reviewed my blogroll to look for links that needed updating. And in the process, I made a disappointing discovery. Not only have several bloggers de-linked me, but dozens of active blogs are still linking to my long-defunct Notables Blog. <\/p>\n

Now even if those bloggers failed to get my email requests for a blogroll update, you’d think they might have visited my site at least once in the last three years, noticed my relocation, and adjusted their blogrolls.<\/p>\n

The upshot of all this is that, with a few exceptions, I’ve de-linked any blog that either has de-linked me or that still links to my Mad Kane’s Notables. <\/p>\n

Of course, I’ll be happy to re-link anyone who notifies me (in an email or in my comments) that my Mad Kane’s Political Madness is on their blogroll.<\/p>\n

No post would be complete without a limerick, right? So here’s my love-letter-limerick to those who still link to my obsolete blog:<\/p>\n

Grumpy Blogroll Limerick
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

If my link to your blog has gone missing,
\nInstead of complaining and hissing,
\nCheck your blog and you’ll see
\nThat your linkage to me
\nIs outdated three years. Reminiscing?<\/p>\n
