When I submitted Little Green Footballs to Google News, to be indexed in their news searches, I received an email telling me that LGF was not eligible because they required their sources to have “staffs.” In other words, no one-person blogs.

So how did bottom feeder Wonkette suddenly end up in their index? Google Search: Ifill. (Hat tip: Allah.)

Jim Treacher has a staff too! Who knew?
