Listen... (shhhh!) to what the Pajama People say...

Listen, it's getting louder every day...

Right Rainbow notes:

By the way, the biggest loser of this election isn’t Mr. Kerry. It’s Big Media, whose lies no longer go unchallenged.

This guy thinks so too.

Look, we're not going to displace Big Media. That's silly.

But we don't really have to.

We'll never be more important that the New York Times as a whole.

However, the day is fast approaching when we'll be, collectively -- bloggers, readers, and commeters all -- more important than the New York Times Op-Ed page.

And I'll take that.

USAToday isn't the country's national newspaper anymore, at least as far as opinion and analysis. The internet is.

And they're not getting their monopoly back.*


* Unless, of course, blogging goes the way of CB-Radio, which, let's face it, it probably will next week, and then thirty years from now we'll all be old and drunk and somtimes lapsing into archaic jargon like "fisking" that's every bit as sad and pathetic as "Ten-four, good buddy!" or "I got a double-bubble on my caboose because I broke the double-nickel!"

But, assuming that doesn't happen, which it will, then we're on our way, baby.

And so sweet, Mary Mapes and even Dan may have trashed their reputations and careers for nothing. 4 more years of Dubya!!

I knwo this has nothing to do with the post, but I have 2 words that are GUARANTEED to make you explode in laughter....


Wait for it...

Ted.
Rall.

HAHAHA I forgot about the SOB until Taranto mentioned him over at www.opinionjournal.com. I picture him, Streisand, Cronkite and Moore having a tremendous sob-sister night of Hagen Daaz and Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies while they try to plot their strategy for 08.

Oh, and according to Drudge, the MSM is blaming BLOGGERS for their bad info.

This just gets better every day! MSM admits plagarizing UNTRAINED, UNFILTERED, OUT OF CONTROL INTERNET RUMORMONGERS!!

Tell me the truth..tell me...this victory lap doesn't just have to be ONE lap, does it? I mean, we're in fairly good shape...why can't we just circle the track a few times, and then take it to the streets, Will Farrell style, for a trip around town?

Posted by: AndrewF on November 3, 2004 06:34 PM

Fuck, I actually know what "I got a double-bubble on my caboose because I broke the double-nickel!" means.

Posted by: McGurk on November 3, 2004 06:43 PM

We are a force to be contended with and are here to stay!

It was the Wonkette and her leftists ilk that spun things out of control. Honest, self-respecting bloggers did not engage in spin. They stated facts as facts and their hopes as personal opinions and were up front about it.

Posted by: michele on November 3, 2004 07:02 PM

Well, I hope the bloggers don't go away, I am sure they will thin out some now that the election is over but I don't think they will dissapear or even significantly dwindle. We need them too much and I have been using them about 4 years now and I am sure they will continue and they won't go the way of CB. I compare bloggers more with Ham radio which will always be with us:) I too know what "I got a double-bubble on my caboose because I broke the double-nickel!" means but that doesn't mean that I am going to quit reading blogs. Hang in there. We owe you a lot.

Posted by: Carl on November 3, 2004 07:07 PM

The point is that you bloggers are decentralized, flexible, self-correcting, and self-employed. What organization could possibly compete with that?

Posted by: dulce on November 3, 2004 07:22 PM

Yeah, as long as bloggers have e sort of unique hook/perspective like Johnny Coldcuts does, they'll always have readers.

Posted by: Iblis on November 3, 2004 07:22 PM

Well, we have the next issue to work on don't we? Clinton wanting to be president of the UN part A, the Oil for Food/UN, part B, and the UN as a whole part C.

Lets all take a week's vacation and then move on to your favorite pet peeve to work on!

Mine's the UN...could you guess?

"Thin out"?

Dude, I've barely gotten past #3 in the 95 Theses tacked to the front door of the Cathedral of Eternal Liberalism.

Posted by: The Black Republican on November 3, 2004 07:50 PM

I'm certain that blogging will not go the way of the dodo any time soon. It may morph from time to time into the "online recipe showcase" when there isn't something catching the attention of the best of bloggers, but I just don't see it going away.

Play it, Nigel.

I think things will change fast at the MSM. Mapes & Rather & Halperin may be partisan yap-dogs, but the MSM is in it to make MONEY. Once the check-writers see their unhinged underlings are screwing the bottom line with their messianic incompetance, they'll put the screws to them.

The NY Times can get away with it, because it's the big paper in town & people read the other sections, but there's too much competition on TV for the shareholders & board members to put up with this crap for long.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.
Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
