North American Patriot was extended the invitation to join Cotillion earlier today, and she has accepted.

(wait till she finds out about the hazing...)

Welcome, Wonder Woman, to our little party. I'm sure you'll fit right in. Help yourself to the bar.

Over the course of the past week, the Cotillion has come under fire - from other conservative bloggers - for not being more inclusive. In response, I just have to say that perhaps those bloggers are on the wrong side of the political spectrum, with a whiny attitude like that. But more importantly, just because we don't extend an invitation doesn't mean we don't think you're good, or that you shouldn't be highlighted in some way. It just means "shit happens" and that we can't always get to you. We've recently had four girls leave us. We're taking on only one at this time to replace them. Why? Because it's a hell of a lot of work. Most of that work is done by three members, who also have real lives to tend to as well.

That shouldn't discourage anyone from having their blog promoted, though. If you have something cool to share, send any one of us a link. Depending on how we're feeling, what kind of mood we're in (does your post really grab our attention because we were just thinking the same thing??), and how much time we have, perhaps someone will highlight it. We're not exclusive, and we "link outside the box" all the time. But if we don't necessarily get to it, do yourself a favor: Suck it up and get over it. There are more important things in life.
