Yesterday marked a small milestone in the life of this humble robo-blog. The ranking site Technorati placed the Mind-Numbed Robot in the top 100 US political blogs. I have to say, those Technorati guys sure know their stuff!

So, I was much surprised to find today that their ranking list is down. Must have been rough, what with all of the Robo-traffic coming their way. Sorry about that Technorati, Didn’t mean to overwhelm your servers.

Luckily for us, I grabbed a snapshot of the Robot’s spot on the list, just in case they  come to their senses the news caused a complete meltdown of their system.

Looking at the screen-cap, I also noticed that the blog fell a couple of slots, meaning at some point the ranking was higher than 80. Always look on the bright side, I say.

I can only conclude that the major reason for the ranking is due to the fine writers and blogs that graciously link to this one from time to time. You guys make me look good and for that, I thank you. I’d also like to thank the Academy, my first grade teacher, Mom, my dog and God, not necessarily in that order.

Now that this post has been milked for all any dear and patient reader could be expected to endure, I’m off to find some other buffoon to poke fun at. It shouldn’t be too tough. There’s a mirror just down the hall.

Cheers!

Iranian Hostage Crisis – part deuce

Just across Robo-news desk comes a  story that three American hikers have been held by Iran for 11 months, and now their mothers are coming forward with the claim that the hikers were seized in Iraqi territory.

This brings to mind a multitude of questions, many of which I will forget by the time I finish writing this sentence.

1. They were hiking where? Even if they were hiking in Iraq, I still must ask this question.

2. Just where exactly are the best nature trails in Iraq? a) Apparently right next to the Iranian border!

3. Why am I just now hearing of these hostages eleven months later? – That’s some fine reporting there Lou.

What? – Oh.

4. Why are these guys not on the front page and leading every MSM outlet every day?

5. Where is the hew and cry for their release? I’d bet if they were Obama supporters they wouldn’t still be there eleven months later.

6. Where is my beer?  a) It’s too early for a beer on a weekday.

7. Where was I?

Oh yea,

8. You know who else had  incident involving hostages held by Iran in Tehran?

9. Why hasn’t our President, who has often expressed a desire for communication with President Ahmadinejad, been campaigning for the hikers’ release? – This would seem to be a good opportunity for a beer summit with the Iranian Prez.

10. How do you like the bold and italicized text?

11. They were hiking where?

12. Where were their mothers before they took off on the hiking expedition?

13. Where is my beer?
