You know the other blogs in town are slow when they have to resort to writing about me, and the Orange Juice blog. Dan C., over at Blue County, wrote a post this week encouraging his readers to read my story about thin-skinned bloggers – and to vote for him in our thin-skinned blogger poll.
Now the winner of our thin-skinned blogger poll, Matt “Jerbal” Cunningham, over at the Red Clownty blog, is taking lame pot-shots at us in a story where he doesn’t even dare to mention the name of our blog, for fear of driving our readership numbers even higher!
Jerbal goes on to say that we make everything up, but he, to the contrary “provides information readers want.” Except of course when that information casts his GOP hacks in a bad light! When Steven Greenhut broke the story that Jerbal’s former boss, John Lewis, had endorsed a Democrat, Tom Daly, over a conservative Republican, we followed suit right away. Jerbal’s blog took over a month to post that story!
And Jerbal also forgot to cover the huge tax protest in Fullerton – until quite a bit after the fact. His blog is such a hack job that KFI’s John and Ken ripped it for almost half an hour after the tax protest, calling it a Kool Aid drinker’s blog for Republican hacks. Not long after that Jerbal was demoted as Red Clownty’s editor.
To this day, Red Clownty does not post their readership data. John and Ken figure that the same twelve hacks sit around reading their red tripe. Who knows? Until they join us in publishing their readership data, we can only assume that John and Ken are right.
If you take a look at Red Clownty’s home page right now, you will note that NONE of their current stories have any comments on them! Our posts today have a combined 23 comments. Make of that what you will.
Meanwhile, over at the ghost town that is the Sunny D blog, only one story has more than two comments on it. You guessed it, that would be their April Fool’s Day post about yours truly. Did I mention that Dan C. over at Blue County also wrote an April Fool’s Day post about me? Or that my own April Fool’s Day post had more comments, and hits, than their two posts combined?
Maybe I should start charging a licensing fee when the minor league blogs in town write about me or my blog…
