Always loved the “chubby” Michelle at the end…
Congrats again on a great first B-Day…y’all keep us informed and entertained.
More VENTS like this! How about a “moon-batty Monday” to start out the week?….
ps Does HotAir have a hot dog hat like they wore at the first shop?

Wade on April 24, 2007 at 9:14 AM
Ha, that was a great one! Any news on whether or not they’re still doing the fast?

…and may God give you guys many, many more!
Ropera on April 24, 2007 at 10:17 AM
Awesome, that one got my vote.
I’m still amazed MM didn’t suffer a monster Brain Freeze after downing those smoothies!
Congrats on a great year. Hot Air has become appointment viewing for me.
Malpaso on April 24, 2007 at 10:17 AM
Happy Birthday Hot Air! Keep up the great work and I had almost forgotten about the “moonbat fast”. That made my day.
Catie96706 on April 24, 2007 at 10:23 AM
Yeah, that one was in the back of my mind, but I really liked give jihad a chance.
Even so, time got away from me this week and I never did vote.
Nonetheless, congratulations, keep up the good work, and I’ll really try to vote next year.

Over the past few months of visiting Hot Air I have been very impressed and entertained (especially at lunch time) with not only the topics but the commenters, too! My co-workers think I’m a nut case for laughing my head off! I really enjoy everything about this site.
Here is a BIG Happy Birthday to you, Hot Air and wish you many happy returns!

~ Happy Birthday, Hot Air.
Don’t get fat, Michelle.
It’s way too “hipp(y)ie”.
avatar_ic on April 24, 2007 at 11:10 AM
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Hot Air
Happy birthday to you
And many more….
This site very quickly after inception became my go-to site that I visit multiple times a day. Congratulations to all of you on a job well done and keep up the good work.

Alia on April 24, 2007 at 11:14 AM
… And this was actually my first Vent, too.
We love the sheehan voice.
Mazztek on April 24, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Speaking of… how is Sheehan doing on that fast? It’s been quite awhile now… surely she’s as thin as twigs now.
Hm? No? Oh well.
Enoxo on April 24, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Happy Birthday Hot Air!
And you have many more ….
omegaram on April 24, 2007 at 11:40 AM
THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO! The vent was right on the money capturing the liberal act! Michelle’s lines “I’m makin it through,it’s tough,it’s hard,I’m surviving. Ha Ha HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOLKS!
sonnyspats1 on April 24, 2007 at 11:51 AM
Gawd, that Sheehan voice over Michelled does makes me want to poke both my eardrums out. It was that good an impression.
Rich on April 24, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Congratulations HA! Love this site!
Suz on April 24, 2007 at 12:36 PM
TIMELESS!! kinda like ice cream.
thin as a navy carrier….there’s another joke in there somewhere.
The success is well deserved. I’ve watched you site-stats for a year now and it IS impressive.
Let us know who wins the swag.
And THANKS TO ALL THE COMMENTER’S FOR THE LAST YEAR ALSO, I’VE ENJOYED MANY OF YOUR SCRIBBLINGS.
HB HA!

Congratulations. When I heard Allahpundit was going to be blogging again I was ecstatic. Now if we can only get Steven Den Beste back.
Bill C on April 24, 2007 at 1:00 PM
If I win, I want an autographed photo of Michelle snarfing down a fistful of french fries. Somehow, I think that’s the first and last time for that. And I never see skinny chicks hanging out at Dunkin Donuts, either.
And I don’t believe Cindy Sheehan went to Italy without planting her face in a tub of gelato, which is kinda sorta like Jamba Juice maybe in a way if you squint and look sideways at it.
Tantor on April 24, 2007 at 1:03 PM
Happy Birthday HotAir!
I am thankful for all the staff. You’ve done a great job. While reading this blog..I’ve laughed, gotten angry and I would cry if men ever actually cried but we don’t.
GoodBoy on April 24, 2007 at 1:45 PM
Didn’t know there was a vote on, but that is my all time favorite. Ranks right up there with “Elaine’s Christmas Card” on Seinfeld!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you……thank you and please keep it coming!
Ann on April 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
….and many mooorrree!
Love this site. It’s my daily, sometimes hourly fix to help me cope with this wacky world.
silenced majority on April 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Has it been a year already?
Happy Birthday HA! What say we grab Cindy, Rosie, and Silky Pony and have a party!
CliffHanger on April 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Dr T wishes you all a Happy B Day!
Drtuddle on April 24, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Cheryl is still a lovely woman, even though her politics are very screwed up. If it wasn’t a joke, we may become a nation of “skid marked” Fruit-of-the-Looms…the residue of which will find its way into our sewer systems/water treatment plants. Egad, where will it end? Save our tushes! Or, Tushes of America Unite! Or…oh, well, never mind. We’ve beaten this up quite well…haven’t we?
Roger Brown on April 24, 2007 at 3:09 PM
Happy Bday HotAir! I picked this one too.
RobertCSampson on April 24, 2007 at 3:15 PM
To Michelle, Bryan, Allahpundit, Ian and See-Dubya….thanks for a great 1st Year.
And now, in Michelle’s honor, I’m off to Ventura Blvd. to get m’self a Jamba Juice Mega Mango with a protein boost.
Cheers!
The Ugly American on April 24, 2007 at 3:30 PM
This was one of my favorites, mainly for the unexpected wrongness of the uncanny Cindy Sheehan voice. No! Blasphemy against Saint Cindy!!!
Thanks, UgAmerican! I’m going to raise a jamba juice myownself to HotAir’s continued success this afternoon.
see-dubya on April 24, 2007 at 3:37 PM
In addition to a Catholic Fast, a Moonbat Fast is also not as difficult as a Jewish fast.
However, living on Jamba Juices can be quite expensive. I, for one, opt for orange sherbet to be substituted for yogurt and additional strawberries for bananas. I also am partial to the Citrus Squeeze with an Energy Boost.
With a fast like Sheehan’s no one in America would go hungry. Two Jamba juices in every hand, because we are fasting.
Oxybeles on April 24, 2007 at 3:49 PM
To all at Hot Air, Happy Birthday and congratulations!
Keep up the excellent work–keeping us entertained, informed, and on the cutting edge of the blog/vlogosphere.
Cheers as well!
elpresidente on April 24, 2007 at 3:57 PM
Happy B-day to Hot Air.
This isn’t my favorite, but it is for sure in my top 10.
Lawrence on April 24, 2007 at 4:00 PM
Thanks for the great site for the last year. I’ve been happy to watch it regularly. You’re great to listen to and also to watch. Thanks again.
wb-33777 on April 24, 2007 at 4:04 PM
hot air is my homepage now!
Thanks for real news with a little humor!
ctmom on April 24, 2007 at 4:09 PM
I would have voted, but like I could never make myself feel right about voting for the trampoline one.

WOW! ONE FULL YEAR OF BLOGGING EXCELLENCE!
Michelle, thanks for creating this blog. It not only gives us a chance to see you and hear your great news items on a daily basis, but your parodies always leave us laughing. Indeed, the news items and situations that you bring to our attention always benefit us greatly and make us constantly aware of the dangers that confront us as individuals, and as Americans.
I, too, have been here since day one and I have to thank Bryan, Mark, and Allahpundit (a great team you have gathered together here, Michelle!) who helped me greatly when I was having computer problems during my attempt to sign on. My postings are perhaps not as good as those of my fellow commentors, but I am glad to be one, and I have no regrets to being a part of this wonderful blog.
Here is to many more years of HOT AIR!
Remember, Michelle, whether it be on the O’Reilly Factor, through your writings, or on HOT AIR, you serve your fans very well with the information you give us.
You are a real All-American babe, and not just because you look so good! :-D Mr. Malkin, you are a very lucky guy to have Michelle!
Cheers!

Happy Birthday, Hot Air!!

Thanks Hot Air.
# one site on my daily internet travels.
Keep it up.
americaslaststand on April 24, 2007 at 5:09 PM
Thanks MM and all the hot air cew for all that you do This is my favorite blog and I send things out to others regularly and they love it too. Keep up the awesome work and don’t let those moonbats get your hunger for exposing them and what they stand for. It is amazing how the BDS has taken over the left and all the left are truley batty fer sure.
bones47 on April 24, 2007 at 5:16 PM
Thank you for a year of deep thought, loug laughter and the more-than-occasional skewer to those that deserve it. Dozens more to you.
52Ranger on April 24, 2007 at 5:43 PM
Hot Air became a favorite of mine immediately when it began. Keep up the good work and Happy Birthday to HotAir.
gary on April 24, 2007 at 5:49 PM
Alright, my favorite entry won! Happy Birthday Hot Air! I hope you have many many more! :o)
Coronagold on April 24, 2007 at 6:53 PM
I had forgotten how funny that one was. Heh.
Bob's Kid on April 24, 2007 at 7:28 PM
Happy Birthday Hot Air, and kudos for your excellence in bloggery and vloggery!
Proud charter member.
IrishEi on April 24, 2007 at 9:23 PM
Hilarious. I couldn’t choose between this one and the one with Connie Chung singing. Michelle was priceless in that one too!
thedecider on April 24, 2007 at 9:39 PM
I love HotAir. I used to visit during work, but they cracked down on Interner surfing while on the clock (the nerve!). I visit as often as I can, and enjoy it!
SouthernGent on April 24, 2007 at 10:03 PM
HotAir make it fun to get the news. This site has definitely contributed to my happiness over the year. Thanks Michelle and all the talented folks at HotAir for making this site fun and informative ! Great job !
Maxx on April 24, 2007 at 10:20 PM
Michelle - I laughed once again with your Cindy Sheehan voice impersonation. Spot on, as the Brits say. Congrats one the one-year anniversary, with many more years of broadcast excellence to come.
Cracklepuffs on April 24, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Everyone at HA, Congratulations!! What an amazing accomplishment!! YOU SHOULD BE VERY VERY PROUD AS WE ARE SO VERY VERY PROUD OF MM, AP, BRYAN, AND ALL HA STAFF.
LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!
Danilo on April 25, 2007 at 12:17 AM
HAAA! I love Michelle mocking Cindy’s voice!
Tony737 on April 25, 2007 at 2:11 AM
Happy birthday HotAir! I love you all!

Happy Birthday Hot Air. You are the daily stop for the issues the MSM won’t touch. This is what makes this site one of the true examples of a free speech society. Bravo to AllahPundit, Bryan, Ian and all of the guests who bring us the stories and a forum to discuss them in. God bless you, Ms. Malkin for lending your name and credibility to this site and for using it to illuminate the issues you think are important.
I am one of the thousands who read many times daily but rarely post; I do not feel the need to chime in with a “me too” unless I have something new to add. Regardless of mine and doubtless many others like myself who post sparingly, trust that we are here reading and thinking over what you all have to offer.
So from the silent majority, Happy Birthday, Hot Air! Thanks for all of the Red Meat.
