Self Promotion

It appears that Doug Ross is doing his annual Fabulous 50 Awards, and while reflexively justifying why my site does not belong on such a prestigious list I thought I might make a bid of self-promotion. It is certainly true that I do not run consistent content or provide regular intervals of articles. Blog sites are considered outside the mainstream – my site is outside the mainstream of blogs. I get it. Regardless, I hereby submit my egregious effort of self promotion by highlighting my 2010 lowlights:

January 2010: Diamond Blogger



I submit that no other blog listed features the author singing Neil Diamond.

February 2010: Media Memory Hole Blockage

Click image to see for yourself

I cannot claim to be the only one who captured this screen-shot of AP memory-hole dumping, but it makes a case that I do work other than the whimsical.

March 2010: This one has naughty language

Click image to smear

While breaking down a serious smear against a close personal friend, I managed to work in a shot at Rahm Emanuel’s notorious shower scene.

April 2010: Blazing Borders

Many thanks to Chuck for this poster

Utilizing the film Blazing Saddles, I inspired fellow a fellow blogger at Headmuscle to reproduce the article in its entirety, create a movie poster for the article, and worked in a Barney Frank reference with the Dom DeLuise character. I’m very proud of this one and think it alone qualifies me for consideration.

May 2010: It’s Elena

Do you have any idea how much time I spent searching for these two photos? Seriously!

June 2010: Media Madness

Am I wrong?

Sick and tired of all the nonsense, I went to every damn major media outlet online, captured the screen, highlighted the nonsense, and still managed to locate this gem. To cop a phrase from MNF: C’MON MAN!

July 2010: Strap-On And Friends In Alternate World

“How can you suck and blow at the same time, Keith?”

This article was so worth the hours!

August 2010: Tolerate This

No image for this one. Just go and take the test.

September 2010: The Party Starts

The Intolerance Party is born and the party platform is released.

October 2010: GOTV



My first ever Get Out The Vote video. I am very proud of this work.

November 2010: Time For Tea?

Go ahead and call me a teabagger. I double-dog dare you!

December 2010: Feeling Motivated

A tribute to my new found love of motivational posters.

Let us not forget a year chock-full of bacon. I have more references and tributes to bacon than any other site in contention.

Whaddya say, Doug? Do I make the cut this year?

Well you made today's Larwyn'sLinx at Doug Ross today! Best of luck to you. I like your stuff and am adding you to my blogroll.
I've only been blogging since this summer so I think I'm too new to qualify for anything, unless there is a category for new people! LOL

TheBad,
I agree that Blazing Borders qualifies you, hands down, for a Golden Globe, Emmy, and Oscar...maybe even a Pultizer. God knows you deserve a kiss on the lips from Brittany Spears at the very least....no tongue.

I am looking a forward to a new year of "out of the mainstream" insight from Rants.

Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Your Friend at Head Muscle.

TB, you have provided a lot of entertainment for me over the last year - as well as some useful insights. I look forward to mroe of the same in 2011.

Very best wishes for the holiday season to you and yours from up here in the frozen north.

Wow - thank you all!

While I didn't make Doug's list, which confirms my confidence in his judgement, I hold your kind encouragements dear to my heart.

Zilla - welcome to the madhouse. You might want to consider prescription medication if you want to hang around.

Headmuscle - I am humbled by the compliments of the creator of "The Example". For those unfamiliar, go to this site and read the series. I'll be contacting you soon regarding possible joint productions for 2011.

Maine - I am truly honored by your continued support. Thank you, sir.

Doug Ross - thanks for linking me every time I post. If not for Doug, I would have about three people total viewing the site regularly.

More thanks to come in the next couple of days.

I never cease to be amazed at the brilliance and insight of the anonymous liberal. Thank you so much for your in-depth and thought-provoking analysis. Now go fuck your mother.
