Memeorandum's immigration coverage

memeorandum.com is a tiny bit like the Drudgereport for blogs: it links to the supposed top stories of the day and the bloggers that are discussing those stories. And, it's posted several entries about immigration matters but, AFAIK, has only ever posted one link to this site. While most of those it links to have interesting contributions, not as many of them follow this issue as closely as this site and some of them are basically "drive-by" commentators. I've sent a couple emails suggesting that when posting about immigration-related matters they check this site for our coverage, but obviously that hasn't worked.

Now, certainly, there's no requirement to link to this site. And, this site chafes at the "blog" designation, prefering to think of itself as something a bit different, seeing as how we usually do things like check facts and even call people or go places. Since their site links to all manner of sites saying all manner of strange things, I don't think it's political bias so much as bias directed specifically against this site for some reason. Despite that, let's hope that Memeorandum does better.

UPDATE: My Memeorandum campaign has succeeded, resulting in a few links from relevant stories.

You know, it might help if you changed the name of your site to something suggesting a more serious demeanor. I won't presume to offer any suggestions since you're perfectly capable of coming up with something more suitable on your own.

How about "Blue Dog is a Jackass"?

A fine tribute that would be indeed, anonymous asshole. But I don't think it would help anyone except leftist trolls like yourself. And you get all the help you need already from your de facto leader, the monkey in the White House.

May God help us all in the coming hell.

No, may God help us all in the coming struggle. Consider yourself already dead, buy guns and take as many of the enemy with as you can when the opportunity arises. The left-right coalition for genocide is too strong to defeat by ordinary means. To paraphrase the Martyrs of the Alcazar: "Commit your soul to God and cry "Remember the Alamo"!

And I'm an atheist.
