So today Ex writes about Christopher Hitchens getting beaten up in Lebanon and all of a sudden he’s getting links from Gawker and Wonkette and shit, and everyone’s finally discovering how rad Abu Muqawama is. For instance, this IM I just received:

i love the fact that Ex writes about Hitch and now everyone’s linking to AM like ‘this blog rules"
Well, I knew the band back when they were playing in people’s basements and gluing the covers to their own EPs. I have my own frigging nickname on Abu Muqawama. You see how much wasta I have? And if you read AM consistently, you’ll know what that means, too.

Heh, You are the Intrepid Spencer…! You and AM Rawk!
Is it Tyrone Shoelaces?
Hey, I enjoy Hitchen’s work, and he and I tend to have a certain Sam Harris – esque sympatico and all, but it’s really time he got the memo.
The whole arrogant besotted english colonial twit thing has pretty much run it’s course. Quite.
You wanna go hang out on the coast of the Levant, all well and good, but do try to remember that most of the rules now apply to you, old chap – especially that pasky law of natural selection…
mikey
Oh my, Chris Hayes just called Michele Bachmann the “demiglasse of wingnuttia.”
Handsome, clever and funny — what a combo!
Why did I think AM was over? I must be crazy.
