Losing to a chat girl isn't that bad...

In the Wizbang Poll, it looks like I'm going to come in second with 70 votes. The winner is a site named jozjozjoz.com, and she/they got almost twice as many votes.

To those who voted for me, thanks.

To those who didn't vote, or who voted for someone else, no hard feelings.

You see, I recently drove over 10,000 miles from L.A. to Maine to (currently) Arizona, blogging all the way. Ten thousand friggin' miles. Almost four months' worth of entries.

On the other hand, jozjozjoz recently drove to from L.A. to San Jose to put up flyers for her lost dog.

Whereas I cover - and have had some influence on - important political issues like the California gubanatorial race, jozjozjoz used to work for Arianna Huffington.

jozjozjoz also has a cute drawing of herself! Plus, she's got more HTML accessories than I can count: a calendar, an Amazon registry, a "shoutbox", a "wee mee," graphical links for her website, a weather pixie... the list just goes on and on. Is there an HTML Doodad she doesn't have?

Like a compulsive shopper, jozjozjoz seems to spend a lot of time at the HTML Doodad Galleria. If I had a "wee mee" or a "shoutbox," would you like me better?

Plus, jozjozjoz has the lowdown on the greasy fries at the lunch truck on her lot.

Plus, lots and lots of exclamation marks.

Yes, the blogosphere truly has spoken, and The Lonewacko Blog is truly second to jozjozjoz.com

A month old, I know, but I just came across this and had to comment:

It was a Blog Popularity poll. The people spoke.
Frankly I'm surprised you were even in the top 20.

Joz is a wonderful human being, and I'm proud to call her a friend. Not one week goes by that I don't find something interesting or comment-worthy posted on her blog, and she deserves whatever positive recognition she gets.

Having read your self-serving drivel (flavored with "Send Me Money" commercials), I think you should consider yourself lucky for having made it that high. Even if I had never read Joz' blog in my life before coming here I would have most likely left this same comment and, having done so, will never look back. Good luck with your long drives and your "influence" in politics. They deserve you.

Independent, in-depth coverage of immigration, politics, and media bias since 2002. Also: multiculturalism, Los Angeles, California, privacy, and occasionally celebrities and wacky humor...
