1 Congrats and deservedly so. There's not a morning goes by that I don't check in for a dose of your wisdom. Your views and opinions are enjoyed. Keep up the great work.

2 Congratulations! Being listed with the likes of Michelle Malkin and Glenn Reynolds is surely an honor. Its an interesting study. It first struck me that none of the listed blogs were the usual big loud and cranky leftist trash. The listings consisted mostly of well reasoned bloggers. What the study was measuring though was the mathematics involved as to who is getting out the storys in a timely way. It's now proven that the rant blogs are not about getting real content such as events and facts but blowing steam.
