yeah, well, deleting cookies seemed to work, but ...

oh well charles, at least it wasnt KOS...

Please say you're not moving to Canada, Charles.

Congrats to both Powerline and LGF!

Congrats to both Powerline & Charles' LGF.

that's scary CoCo

As someone pointed out yesterday -- 2 of the blogs that broke memogate finish 1-2 -- that's just plain cool!

Charles, Powerline may have garnered more votes but you know you're no. 1 with us!

Congrats to the"Rathergate" blogs. You both deserve a place in the blogger Hall of Fame.

Kudos!

Oooh! Woe! Oh well, better luck next time! I voted as often as they'd let me but since I'm up day and night I'd lost track of my 24-hour window and I hope I didn't miss 1.4% worth but I don't think so.

Congratulations on losing to an excellent blog, Charles and 2nd isn't too shabby either! ;^)

glad to see the 2 blogs i frequent most, finished 1 and 2 in this poll.

Jinx! (You owe me a coke, diet please)

I would have voted for you Charles, but you didn't let me register in time! So I guess it's my fault. Are there any provisional ballots available?

and by gains, i really mean extends... whoops

I'm relatively new to blogs. This one is my favorite. Congrats on the recognition.

OT: That being said here's something that is typical of our country today. They tyranny of the offended being able to overrule any decision. Grieving town stuggled to put up a monument that nearly everyone agreed on because some people were offended. What is most telling is typical of liberals and is a lesson as to why they cant be appeased - they complained about some words on monument - they were changed - complained again - more changes - finally put up the monument and they are still complaining.

"As devised by the town manager, the Gilberts and a group of veterans, the design called for a granite monument 4 feet high. The face bore the likeness of an American eagle with a scroll in its talons. On the scroll was "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" and below it: "BRATTLEBORO SUPPORTS ALL THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED OUR NATION OR MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE DURING OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM."

But after the design was circulated among town officials, Sam Haskins, the Vietnam vet, got a call from Jerry Remillard, the town manager. "He said, 'We have to change this to make people happy,' " Haskins says."

We was robbed!

Congrats anyway... and you're #1 to us.

Recount! Recount! Recount! What about all the people with slow dial-up accounts who had to wait for lengthy downloads? They were disenfranchised! Recount! Recount! Recount! :-)

Congrats to you Charles on doing a tremendous job.

Karl Rove was very pleased with the outcome of the vote, which was never in any doubt. I hear that Koz is planning on initiating a recount on the basis that someone voted five times over the course of the voting period, which Koz believes was both too few times, and too many times because the voter split the vote between Powerline and LGF, meaning that Koz did not garner any votes from that individual. /humor

#10 Eric, and they call the "Red Staters" stupid voters.

Split the recount attorney's fees with Kos. Save some dough.

Power-who? ;-)

Keith Olbermann will be doing a series of reports about voter supression for the Wizbang blog awards.

Charles: You (and Powerline, Druge, et al) will go down in the history books that my great grandkids will read someday...just as I read about radio announcers of the 1920s changing the face of politics...just as Television changed political debates...bloggers are mainstream even if MSM won't acknowledge it.

#11 CoCo

ordering one D.C. for you. i'm drinking mine as we speak.

#8 grayp:

There is an idea: we need a 'historian' in the blogosphere who will track the 'key' events i.e. Rathergate. Or is there someone who does that already? If not, I think before much more time passes, one of the more senior bloggers who've had a blog for a few years and is interested enough to have followed or journaled these events, might start a 'history'.

Actually Powerline is a superb blog and a worthy winner. They quote LGF quite a bit.

#23 maf 12/13/2004 01:07PM PST

~~~cheers~~~

Sorry, Lizard Master. I did everything I could...

:-)

just supposed to be fun

That's loser talk! I'm calling Rev. Al.

Congrats to Powerline and LGF.

Class Act: From Powerline

"The record will reflect that it took three of us at Power Line to narrowly outpoll Charles Johnson's incredible one-man operation Little Green Footballs. Even at that, Charles may want a recount."

Charles, it may be time to take on a partner.

Aggghhh, the guilt, the guilt...
I admit it, I voted for them to. My concience made me do it. What with having two of the best blogs going at it head to head and reading such excellant posts I became confused about who was best on a daily basis so on one day I would vote for you and the next them. I thought it was fair even if self cancelling. I must admit I do check here more often then there. Oh the guilt...

#26 CoCo

~~~Cheers~~~and a toast to LGF; now back to work-yuk.

Congradulations Charles!
& Thanks for your efforts.

I like Powerline, but I can't post a link to my website and steal traffic, so I like LGF much better.

Mr. H. Hewitt gladly serves in that position unoffically and wrote a book "Blog," which will be published in january ...

The one thing that did irk was the fact that too blogs that were with mainstream(not MSM) rags won. Like kerry spot or Best of the Web. I wanted to see more of the mom and pop blogs win. I guess theres always next year.

/fighting with hope!

Iowahawk has hired Jesse Jackson to demand a recount.

Hey, you beat Instapundit, and that has to count for something.

I spoke to the Jewish Elder in charge of Blog Voting to get an explaination, and he said he was very sorry, but after a count of foods that had the special K inside a circle in your kitchen and compared to the entire Powerblog team's kitchens, they had paid clearly more 'taxes'.

Better luck next time.

The good news is the Jewish Elder in charge of gas prices is finally getting ahead of his paper work.

/humor

Congratulations !

And no bitterness towards, PWL... that of course has been SELECTED NOT ELECTED.

:-)))

I agree with #24, there should be a historian, documenting the major influences that the blog's are accomplishing. The really neat thing about this, LGF and Powerline are the one's making history, and the MSM is history.

congratulations to Charles, remember the Avis commercials...

Commendable showing. Next year, No. 1.

#40 dustyroadguy:

remember the Avis commercials...

Huh?

And congrats, Charles.

Charles, No P.E.S.T. syndrome for LGF supporters! In this instance, 2nd Place is a distinct honor. When you're right--you're right. LGF wins even when finishing 2nd! Top that, you dhimmis! Congratulations, Charles. I, for one, personally voted for LGF like a dead Mayor Daley Chicagoan = early AND often! Congratulations to Powerline for finishing #1, and for the classy compliments to Charles and LGF. Happiness abounds without even the whisper of a recount. (Yet) LOL :-)

# 35 f

Uh, I voted heavily for BOTW -- Taranto is what brought me here!

Avis is the #2 rental car company (Hertz is no. 1) and Avis' longtime slogan is

#45 Buckaroo:

Ohhh...

You mean you Yanks don't just flip to another hockey game when the ads come on?

;-)

# 46 Cam

What is this "hockey" you speak of?

{Gary, get yer head out of yer butt and accept the offer!}

I almost forgot this blog should have been on there as well.
It gets no play any where esle. Its called commonsense and wonder. They have link to this on this site but it needs to be updated.

I think Charles should demand a recount. I don't think all the dial up votes have come in.

Oh dear, I feel like starting up a SorryEverybody site, but I think I feel an episode of PEST coming on.

Kudos to both!

Good showing for LGF. I see that Powerline notes that it took three of them to barely edge out one Charles Johnson. The good guys took the top spots and thats what really counts. Take that, Kos and DU.

OT, all praise to the Holiday Inn Lido for free high-speed internet access in the room, meaning I don't need those glacialy slow and damned expensive AOL dial-up access numbers I wrote down before leaving the house. And even though these people here are the class of the world at internet censorship, not a one of my usual sites has been blocked yet. Works for me !

You mean you Yanks don't just flip to another hockey game when the ads come on?

Nah, we're in the head peeing the beer.

Peterson Verdict
Death

#52 grayp:

LMAO!

Back atcha:

(((grayp)))!

Doesn't the electoral college of blogging make the official determination of the best overal blog next month?

#53 FrankNH:

Surprising, somehow, but well deserved, if it ever was. I'd like to see it applied to Jihadis in certain circumstances too.

BTW, he won't be going anytime soon. He could well appeal for decades!

#53 Where did you see the verdict? Fox nor CNN have it on their webpages yet.

Oh Fox has it now forget it.

The verdict was broadcast live...

Official sentencing in late Feb. Here comes "All jurors all the time."

Feh.

56 foreign devil
He's not going anywhere while the appeals process is ongoing.
Life is no picnic on death row.
Imagine living for the next 5, 10, or 20 years in a cell, let out for exercise one hour a day. Not a pretty thought. Especially with the threat of that final walk.

I suppose now they will enter the "book deal" phase at this point. Agents phones are a ringin.

#56 foreign devil

The safest place to be in California is on death row.

Hmm...have we ascertained that all absentee ballots were counted. Is it true that the dead people gave them 5,000 votes?

(oh wait...the "dead" people voted for Kos...never mind...)

Not to worry, Charles. In our heart of hearts, we know which green footballs are #1. LOL Thanks for all you do!

Powerline wins by just 1.4%?

The Blogosphere is DEEPLY DIVIDED!

I sense an epidemic of PEST coming on.

LGF Rules!

Ciao,

OT: Mobsters Terrorize Algerian Terrorists

I just looked in on Michelle Malkin's blog and she had this news story posted. There is a great deal of humor in this, strangely enough. Malkin's bit of wit on this subject is:

Maybe we should try this approach to counterterrorism here. Tony Soprano for DHS chief: Just tell us where bin Laden is and fuhgedaboudit.

It was either National Review or Powerline that led me to LGF, so I can't begrudge Powerline the win, just in case.

Still, LGF had a great showing, congrats Charles!

I like the idea of the mob v. terrorists. The LLL claim they already think Pres. Bush is a criminal and a thug, so they shouldn't have any objection, right?

The Good NEWS

93% percent prefer NOT KOS.

Congrats Charles.

More fully deserved recognition.

I was disenfranchised.

Iowahawk has retained Jesse Jackson to look into irregularities that may have cost him a win in the "Most Humorous Blog" catagorie. My Man the Reverand Al thinks he should have invested his money more wisely.

LGF would have won were it not for a large number of elderly lizardoid minions who mistakenly voted for Pat Buchannan's blog ...

#24 foreign devil . . .

There is an idea: we need a 'historian' in the blogosphere who will track the 'key' events i.e. Rathergate. Or is there someone who does that already? If not, I think before much more time passes, one of the more senior bloggers who've had a blog for a few years and is interested enough to have followed or journaled these events, might start a 'history'.

I suggested this to a college professor of "communications" who doesn't follow blogs. I also suggested that he get outside the Matrix. We'll see if anything happens.

Anyway . . .

CHARLES, you rock! And though I'm not a professor, I can tell you that you will be recorded in history as one of the people who helped save Western Civilization.

Thank you.

Thanks Charles for everything !

What a brilliant Idea !

I think all the prisoners should be allowed into the US prisons with the Gambino family. Many dollars would be saved !

If anyone has cause to start a recount, it is I. I finished 8th in my category. That means 7 Halliburton funded infidels intimidated voters and violated my constituents' civil rights. We must make sure every vote counts . . . [you know the rest].
