One or two jokes per entry, that's it. And please keep the ratio of sarcastic phrases to paragraph breaks at 1:3. That's the formula for success. And more ninjas G-dammit. Your readers demand it!

The guffaws I get from reading this blog brighten my day...so back off. As far as I'm concerned, GWS is a professional, and his jokes are why I keep coming back. Oh, and I liked the jokes in this blog. All he needed was a sex joke, and then he would have had a trifecta. “R”, the only reason I would STOP reading this blog is if Great White Snark laid off the humor.

Overtly partisan political jokes can drive away half the audience, not to mention distract us from reading the heart of the content. One or two jokes -- preferably not related to sex, politics, or religion -- are ok. You overstep the boundaries here, in my humble opinion (and I'm a Democrat). Leave the comedy to the professionals; its a tough pill to swallow, but your blog will prosper in the long run. I hate to say it, but you should lay off the humor.

Lucius Vorenus in "Rome") is such a good actor that I hope "Journeyman" is successful. Not that I'm going to watch it; I'm still trying to catch up on "Rome"'s last season and the last several episodes of "Mad Men." Trivia note: I've already pointed this out to GWS, but I was quite surprised to see a young McKidd as Tommy (the doomed addict) in "Trainspotting." Who knew? Kevin McKidd (a.k.a.
