Jawa Report: Top Right-of-Center Blog. Or, Stuff This in Your Puppy Blender & Smoke it Glenn Reynolds!

I had never heard of Blogniscient until I noticed a lot of referrals coming from them a couple of weeks ago. From time to time we at The Jawa Report do actual first-hand 'news', and these posts (or are they 'articles' when they're 'news'?) generate a lot of links. Unfortunately, most of the 'news' we bring is bad, and, unfortunately, in the last week or so there has been a lot of bad news of the kind we primarily cover.

So, it wasn't surprising to see that Blogniscient ranked several of our posts in the last few weeks as their 'Top Blog Article'. After all, we've had that distinction over at NZ Bear's TTLB dozens of times.

But 'Top Blog'? That's a stretch, isn't it? Well, not according to Blogniscient which ranks The Jawa Report 4th on their 'Top Blog' page. Only left-of-center blogs are ranked higher. And if you look at their 'Top Conservative Blogs' page you see something fascinating if not completely and utterly wrong: The Jawa Report is ranked the #1 conservative blog!!

Are we the Best Conservative Blog as some who are suggesting they vote for us in this year's Weblog Award's? Hell no! I, personally, am voting for Ace-of-Spades HQ. I'd much rather be the top conservative blog over the best anyday.

I mean, let's get real here. They give the Academy Award to the best film of the year. And in order to win that you have to produce something about gay cowbows eating pudding. Or, worse yet, a musical set in Chicago!

So, eat your heart out Glenn Reynolds (#6). That'll teach you to ignore one of my critical e-mails. Or ten of them. Or all of them.

Yes, The Jawa Report outranks Michelle Malkin (#2), NRO's The Corner (#3), & Hugh Hewitt (#4).

So do we get a cash prize for being the top blog or do we just bask in the glory of our own crapulence?-----------------------

Utter nonsense? Yes. But at least it's the kind of utter nonsense that we like!

Better check out Blogniscient before they realize the error of their ways and fix whatever bug ranked The Jawa Report #1.
