The Pioneer Woman blog is funny and very well written. I read HA, MM and Pioneer Woman daily. The first 2 are for information and the last one is for fun. It isn’t a bad thing to have some levity in one’s life. Especially with the current administration! PW also posts great recipes.

So what your saying is that if I want to be loved and respected I should become a libral?

Somehow I’m not sure it’s worth it…

That’s GREAT. Let them think we don’t matter.

We don’t matter.

If that were true, shutting us up would never cross any lefty’s mind.

I'm just surprised they didn't have the greatest political blog ever, the LOL Cats.

I’m taking my cue from Allah’s headline blockbuster, wherein it is proved that we all distrust polls we don’t agree with, and then combining that with the fact that I hate/disagree with both Time and that little fairy Mulitsas – and so I won’t click it.

Eff this post.

HuffPo has more hacks than anyone. HuffPo friends must work for Time.

Kos has written for Newsweek, which maybe explains the thumbs down. He sent a bunch of Kos people to vote the site up and then says “Their own readers disagree, so yeah, yet another example of the disconnect between the traditional media and their readers.” Uh huh

Ace made it last year, Time described him as “the conservative answer to the Daily Kos”, which isn’t true at all.

Here’s the part that almost ruined my keyboard:

HuffPo hasn’t fallen into the usual blog trap of mistaking a rant for analysis; the site publishes consistently thoughtful commentary

I can’t believe the media hopped down from Chavez’s and Obama’s shoulder long enough to write this pap.

It’s not that dKos isn’t overrated (it is), it just can’t possibly live up to all the hype about it.

CalculatedRisk’s Doris Dungey (aka “Tanta”) is the best blogger I’ve read. Her death is a true loss.

They got the name wrong – it should be “The Bleat”, not “bleat”.

I’m surprised they chose it at all. Guess they never stumbled across the Screedblog.

Even seeing Kos in a picture tends to give me the beginnings of a headache. He’s so hyper.

Like Darwinian evolution my friend — give us time, just give us more time.

We don’t matter.

Allahpundit on February 17, 2009 at 2:17 PM

Au contraire, mon frère.

The truth is that every single decision that we make in life matters. It matters a great deal.

Yeah, I’m biased, but there’s no way “Pioneer Woman” or whatever is better than our beloved MM and HA. Pasalubong on February 17, 2009 at 2:13 PM

Have you ever read Pioneer Woman? Read this and tell me you don't love her. Those pictures make me drool, and I don't even eat meat.

“Top X” lists are stupid, and only exist to generate clicks, hence the insulting and obnoxious 1-item-per-page format.

Besides Time Magazine’s 2008 Person of the Year how many covers were of Obama?? They suckle the KoolAid in concentrated form and it’s spilling by the bucketfull on their glossy pages.
