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.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)

US decimation of Iran's ICBM forces is due to Space Force's instant detection of launches -- and the launchers' hiding places -- and rapid counter-attack via missiles
AI is doing a lot of the work in analyzing images to find the exact hiding place of the launchers. Counter-strikes are now coming in four hours after a launch, whereas previously it might have taken days for humans to go over the imagery and data.

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.
