Over at the P-I

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer hasn't yet corrected any of the errors I've brought to their attention, but at least someone over there is reading the Shark Blog. In fact, I can see from my traffic log that I get more visits from inside the P-I than from almost any other network, with the possible exceptions of (a) my mother and (b) the United States House of Representatives (seriously).

I have no idea what actually goes on at the P-I, but here is my list of ....
The Top Eleven Things They're Probably Saying About The Shark Blog Over at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer

11. "Ewww. Isn't this sort of thing against the law?"
10. "How much do you think we'll have to pay this Sharkansky guy to get him to move to Portland?"
9. "What a load of rubbish. I'll bet he's working for the Seattle Times."
8. "Yes, Sharkansky's an idiot, but at least he doesn't call himself a pundit."
7. "Should we throw him off the Space Needle, or send him a gift box of tainted salmon?"
6a. The reporters: "Thank God somebody is finally taking on those nitwit editors who are driving this paper into the ground".
6b. The editors: "Thank God somebody is finally taking on those nitwit reporters who are driving this paper into the ground".
5. "The website is called the 'Shark Blog' and the guy they have writing it is called 'Shark-ansky'. Get it? What are the odds of that happening?"
4. "Maybe we can all get jobs writing for The Shark Blog after the P-I goes out of business"
3. "That Mark Steyn is a riot. Why aren't we running his column?"
2. "Islam is a Religion of Peace, but they keep blowing shit up. What's the deal with that?"
1. "Oh dear, somebody is actually reading the paper. Now what are we going to do?"

Hell, keep up the great work on debunking the lairs! I love the internet blogs and other ways people have the means to debunk the liars now.

Great stuff. We live in Olympia, WA and it's nice to read somebody else's fiskings of the Times and P-I instead of me simply yelling at the computer when reading their papers.

Horsey's a great cartoonist. Too bad he's just to the left of Fidel Castro politically.

Welcome to the area.
