Googly dollars

I’ma gonna sit right back ‘n’ wait fer them thar googly dollars t’come a-rollin’ in, yessir!

For those regular visitors out there, you may have been getting alarmed by the encroaching commercialism of this blog. Fear not. I suffer from layout agoraphobia – I get nervous with too much empty space around, which is why I’ve been trying to fill it with as much flashing, clickable code as I can manage to copy and paste into the right place in the template.
…
Now I’m getting nervous about the kinds of ads that are appearing. “Earthquake relief to Iran”? Why me? How do those googlers know I’m a soft touch for liberal causes? Now I’m getting hooked on constantly refreshing the page to see what new ads come up. What kind of person do they think I am?!
…
Wait a minute. If I click on the ads on my own blog, do I get paid? “click” “click” “click” “click” “click” “click”

Pack your bags, baby, we’re going to … Palau!
