Likelihood of Success

I have really been so unhappy with political blogging lately, and busy and otherwise engaged, that I can use all these reasons as an excuse for why I hadn’t known about a blog called Bombs and Dollars until this:

As a resource to my readers and others who are interested in exploring new blogs, I have assembled my personal list of my favorite conservative blogs. I took a lot of factors into consideration, including: influence, entertainment value, information-value, frequency and regularity of updates, and personal interest.

These are my own rankings of blogs that I follow, and I know I missed some, so I apologize for those I missed, but I did the best I could.

Which is all one can ask.  One-hundred and thirty-three of them, to be exact!  This is not newsworthy at all, of course, unless you are already a fan of Bombs and Dollars (whose subtitle is, “America’s Top Exports” — very much in line with this recent post of mine, actually!) or, of course, you are one of those 133 lucky bloggers!  Which I am.  In fact I am number 90!  So he didn’t have to go up to 133 at all.

Now I still wouldn’t have known this, except for this link from another blog I should have known about called All American Blogger:

I received an e-mail from Mitchell Blatt from Bombs and Dollars that read:

just wanted to let you know that your blog ranks on my list of the top 133 conservative blogs

Hmm.  I don’t know why I didn’t see that link in the first place, and I also don’t know why I didn’t see that email from Mitchell Blatt, except that maybe he stopped at 85, or 89.  But I am grateful for the notice, especially considering how slack it’s been around here, and I thank Mitchell for perhaps incentivizing me a bit, and that’s one more reason to be thankful, I guess, on this Thanksgiving eve!
