Barack Obama’s decision to appear on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (today at 11am/3pm Pacific) has provoked a round of extreme seething among the leftist blogs. Open Left has Obama figured out; he’s a right-wing undercover operative. Obama is sucking up to Fox News, and beyond that, the ...

LGF is in the top 100 political blogs at the interesting web site wikio.com: Wikio: Politics.
Here’s an indicator that the far left is concerned about the influence of “right-wing” blogs on this election, a risible hit piece in the Village Voice by Roy Edroso that reads like a Rosie O’Donnell rant: The Official Village Voice Election-Season Guide to the Right-Wing Blogosphere by Roy Edroso. LGF ...
Blogger Joshua Sharf (of View From a Height) is running against a jihadi sympathizer for a Republican seat in the Colorado legislature: Hitting The Trail. (Hat tip: Soccer Dad.)
I’ve been experimenting for a while with a system that gives certain trusted “monitor lizards” the ability to delete abusive/offensive comments, and things seem to be working very well, so here’s the official announcement: we’ve got monitor lizards! (Some of you probably figured it out already.) I set it up ...

They upgraded their security and are thumbing their noses at the medieval morons: LiveLeak.com - Fitna the Movie: Geert Wilders’ film about the Quran (English). Kudos to LiveLeak for taking the kind of principled stand our mainstream media won’t. On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with ...

Let’s check the PHP error log, shall we, and see what kind of spambots we’ve caught in our trap? When I installed our new spambot blocking code yesterday, I made sure to log all email script accesses that didn’t pass the token verification procedure. This lets me collect a list ...

Here’s an update to yesterday’s report on the spambot infestation at LGF, attacking our contact form and “email an article” form: both forms have been available and active since yesterday afternoon, and not one spam email has gotten through since I installed the token-based method (using the jQuery Javascript library) ...

Oh brother. This morning a spambot of some kind finally got past the rather weak Javascript obfuscation I was using to hide the address of our contact form script, and my Inbox was filled with hundreds of porn/gambling spam emails, sent directly through the script using proxy IP addresses of ...

For no particular reason other than as an excuse for an open thread while I broil some salmon, here’s the (short version of the) to-do list for LGF Blog Engine Enhancements. 1. A ‘favorites’ function that will let you save and browse through a personalized list of comments and posts ...
Stand back! It’s a blog developer cage match! Blog Fight! WordPress and Movable Type Square Off! Looks like Anil Dash—who rather famously tried to smear me and LGF in our early days—has put his foot in it again. (Yes, LGF’s detractors have been pulling the same stunt for a long ...

Today I received more than a dozen emails from concerned readers, informing me that the content filtering service 8e6 Technologies had suddenly started blocking Little Green Footballs at their workplaces, with a message warning them it was for “Hate & Discrimination.” OK. Well. So I emailed 8e6 Technologies (excuse the ...
Well, this is a bit of a shock from Tim Blair. Hang in there, Tim, we’ll be pulling for you.
Courtesy of the inimitable Cox & Forkum, here’s the illustration for the winners of our Fiskie (for the world’s biggest idiot) and Fallaci (for the world’s most distinguished anti-idiot) Awards of 2007. The winner in the Fallaci category is the brilliant General David Petraeus, who achieved something many were beginning ...

A really bad idea has passed some early committees in Israel, and has a good chance of becoming law: Israel Matzav: Israel to go after bloggers? Web site owners or editors will be legally responsible for any content on their site, including comments made in talkbacks and message boards, ...
Is the blogosphere ready for ... Bolus? I say we can never have enough blogs about hot rods, bodacious babes, and large spherical objects.

Our first round of voting for the Idiotarian and Anti-Idiotarian Awards of 2007 ended yesterday. Keith Olbermann’s stellar idiocy put him way ahead of the pack for the Fiskie Award, followed by Ron Paul Supporters and Rosie O’Donnell. In the Fallaci Awards, we also have a runaway leader, General David ...

Blogger/soldier Andrew Olmsted asked a friend to post a final entry at his blog if he died in Iraq, and that entry is now posted. Rest in peace, Andrew.
There was a small bug in the Ajax polling code that prevented you from voting more than once in a poll. It’s now fixed, so I’m reposting the Fiskie and Fallaci runoff polls here. You now have five votes in each category, so if you voted only once before the ...
