“Be careful what you wish for. You may get it”.
That old adage has been proven truer than ever today, as Nih[i]list in Golf Pants not only loses in its nakedly transparent bid for a repeat win in the coveted (by leftybloggers and Nihilist) City Pages “Best Blogger (Right Wing)” award.
The extent to which so-called “conservative” bloggers Nihililst, Sisyphus and JB were willing to whore and befoul themselves for this piece of filthy, patchouli-reeking lucre is obvious in their despair (emphasis added):
We’ve come up with hilarious top 11 list after hilarious top 11 list, some even anti-Republican. We’ve taken shots at right-wing bloggers that City Pages hates like Power Line and Mitch Berg. We even turned down the $20 cash Swiftee offered us to remove our Best of the Cities 2006 link thingee. We’ve done everything it takes to repeat, except one thing: draw cartoons.
Turning on the Republican bloggers who nurtured them. Stabbing (in an ineffectual way) those who supported them. Sniffing Paul Demko’s farts.
You almost feel sorry for them.
Almost.
Sorry for the “loss”, NIGP crew. But it’s good that you’ve shown your true, “blue” colors.
I bet those lattes at Lurcat talking about The Current, those evenings at Chino debating the labor theory of value, and those nights at the Bryant Lake Bowl watching nude lesbian poetry slams seem pretty hollow now, don’t they?
Mitch derided: “nude lesbian poetry slams”
I’m not sure how those would ever get old, Mitch, but I’ll take your word.
Sorry to see Shot in the Dark got Susan Luccied by City Pages – whatever that is – yet again. Does it help to know you’re the favorite rightwing kook blog of Angryclown? That’ll give you a little cred on the carnival and freak show circuit, anyway.

It’s the local version of the Village Voice (in fact, I think they’re owned by the same company)

Thanks, although if you’ve met my family…
No honorable mention for Tracy? Heh.
The CP is not fond of the Anti-Strib.
They’re just jealous there’s no Anti-CityPages. Why would there be?
Mitch, our criticism was strictly constructive. We were trying to steer you away from liberal music and the aggrandizement of slightly chilly weather.
Sisyphus,
No, I understand!
Likewise, I’m trying to steer you guys away from washing Mike Mosedale’s car with your tongues.
Mitch informed: “Likewise, I’m trying to steer you guys away from washing Mike Mosedale’s car with your tongues.”
Combine that with the nude lesbian poetry slam and you’ve got a Howard Stern pay-per-view special, my friend.
There’s method to my madness.
