3. It's an automated Technorati results list.
It's not a writer for the Washington Post discussing our significance.

5. Well at least Technorati

Cool, top of the list too!
That is right, freepers, your chimp-boy is selling us out, and WE, once again, are the ones trying to save the country!

2. I would call this a "message board" and not a "blog," but
I appreciate the hyperlink.

6. I think that is one of our problems
We're not really bloggers, but then what are we? We don't have a cool name for ourselves and what we do. Ever try to explain what you do here to someone else? It's hard to do in 25 words or less. Anyone have any ideas about what to call ourselves?

15. we're bloggers - embrace it
it sounds wrong to our ears after years of internet discussion boards, but if they want to lump us all together as bloggers I'm all for it - we're the new media

16. I don't have a problem with the term 'blogger'
except that's not what we are. I end up telling people it's sort of like blogging but it's more interactive... By that point, their eyes glaze over and they still don't know what I'm talking about.

We need a cool name to call ourselves. I just don't know what it should be.

17. It's a community. We're citizens, contributors, participants, activists...
and a few trolls.

12. We are the last remaining vestige of concerned citizens.



All others are sheep or co-conspirators at best.


I hope they enjoy their Kool-Aid.

18. WE ARE OUTRAGED AND WE SPEAK THE TRUTH
NO BRAVERY
thanks bpiligrim and James Blunt

No Bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

22. It's in a box to the right of the 2nd paragraph. 'WHO'S BLOGGING?'
The freeps aren't blogging about this? Not in the top four, anyway.
