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?

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.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
