If enjoying 15 minutes of fame is wrong, I don't want to be right ;-:
As at Sunday 24 April 2005 AD at 7:07 AM, there is something for everyone on the Blogstreet. Want a proof? Look no further than all the content they have managed to squeeze into the top 50 (Fifty) political bloggers, the virtual movers and shakers ;-D Media Dragon is on a list (#40 or #430 in the whole wide world context) and who can blame us for making hay while the sunshine is smiling at us. We realise how fleeting the Warhol’s metaphor of 15 minutes of fame really can be. We also know that Blogger is under ruthless attack from the Microsoft which has created 7 Million blogs (as of Friday) and it is growing by 100,000 every week. The only sad news is that many Microhard (sic) blogs tend to fade and die within a month or so. Anyway I hope you decide to take a walk down the Blogstreet Boulevarde (sic) - I can assure you that you can find something to suit whatever political mood you are in any day. Scared of Dragons? Try Eschaton as Atrios rules in #1 position Like conservative way of betting? Czech out the Soprano, also known as Instapundit, as Glen Reynolds is #2. How about daily political fights or rants on the state of the nation (huge US bias); since there is only MEdia Dragon and another antipodean Angry Bear on the loathed and loved Blogstreet ranking system. Turn to Daily Kos as he is at #5 (whole world wide web has him at #7). If you are a fan of War and Peace, czech out Baghdad Burning at #12 (or overall #35) Do not forget that the smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. The Smallest Minority with cold dead heands is #49 (or #575 on www)
