They just announced the "winners" for the Top 100 Blawgs, and it looks like a RACKET.
MR. Edward A. Adams "instituted a series of checks behind the scenes to make sure only legitimate votes were counted." The NEW totals only have "only votes that were legit."
I guess votes for MY blawgging we NOT "legit."
Here's he's explaination: "You’ll just have to take it on faith that we're capable of determining what a legit vote looks like, and what a bogus one looks like."
Well he also says abajournal disqualifed some votes from over seas computers. So any of my International readers just DO NOT count. This might be Viewpoint discrimination or Nationality discrimination, but I do NOT know.

I wanted to vote for you, Ellen, you are a winner, in my book, at least. Where is McLeod?
ReplyDeleteHe's probably still drunk from new years.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have been quite sober, but just attending to some work.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, Ellen's BLAWG was not included on the "BLAWG 100" slate, so there was no way to vote for it (from the states or overseas). I assumed this was because this BLAWG was only a few weeks old when they chose the candidates (and because a lot of posters here were, at that time, challenging whether Ellen was "the REAL Ellen"). Next year, there should be a better shot at it. (Ellen, I think you should learn SOME United Nations law before then, in case there is an issue in the 2009 voting with counting overseas votes).
me too. I agree with McLoud. We will lunch a campain for you--the challenged lawyers for ellen.
ReplyDeleteIs Alan Sheketovitz your boyfriend? I see his name on the website and wonder if you have given him web access? Please have McLeod respond.
ReplyDeleteThis website blows, now that McLoud is not updating it any more.
ReplyDeleteLet's hear from Ellen already. Has the well run dry already?
ReplyDelete"She's" definitely played out. McLeod, next time don't bite off what you can't chew.
ReplyDeleteIf that is supposed to be some kind of veiled reference to the cheese Ellen lost back on the ABA site, I will only reiterate that I had nothing to do with the missing cheese.
ReplyDeleteAs for Ellen's long silence, I can only conclude that Alan finally drove her to one of those Elvis chapels in Las Vegas to tie the knot. We will probably hear from her when they are done with the honeymoon.
Ellen has dried up. And it's because McLoud has sucked the life out of her, electing instead to replace her on the website with himself as the commentator du jour.
ReplyDeleteIf there are teeth marks on Ellen's neck, those are not mine either.
ReplyDeleteShe can't marry that putz, Alan, she must remain single and all the men who look to her for inspiration. Little do we know that she may have a face like a horse. To us, she is as beautiful as lady liberty. Don't marry, for you will then be spoiled to us going forward, Ellen. Promise us you will remain available for all of your fans! With the new administration, resist the temptation to apply for a new cabinet post.
ReplyDeleteWeeks passed by with no posts to log,
ReplyDeletePerhaps Alan took his girl away,
For her comments came not to her hot-pink BLAWG,
(nor EVER to THE a.b.a.),
B. McLeod, the Ellen fan, grew sad,
As he shut down his auld P.C.,
He shook his head,
"I'm afraid," he said,
"She's forgotten you and me,
It seems, Anonymous friends o' mine,
That we've outlasted her blawghood years,"
Then he turned, and was gone,
With a lazy yawn,
To search for a couple o' beers.
I'm surprised McLeod is all tapped out already. He seems to have a pension for alcoholic beverages; too bad he can't CONTINUE to channel those literary talents toward his ELLEN impersonations. He really wasn't half bad, though I guess he's tired of it.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the G-D Da** He** is ELLEN? We want Ellen! We want Ellen! Bring back Ellen!
ReplyDeleteWhy has not McLoud come back and add a new post? He has taken over for Ellen on the website and is now leaving this blog to die? What a yutz!
ReplyDeleteIt is clear McLoud is done with ellen, after having had his way with her. How awful that he should dump her now that he has ravished her, and then banned her from the website. This is terrible. I want ellen back!
ReplyDeleteRest assured, I am not she, and she is not me. Like you, I still periodically check to see if Ellen has posted, but after this interval, it seems most likely she has moved on.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that McLoed would waste time posting in the comment section, but not create a post on the main blog if he WERE Ellen.
ReplyDeleteFor me, she'll always be real! I hope nothing bad has happened to Ellen.
McLoud works for the ABA. He's in with Molly McButter. He has taken over the role of ellen, putting in multiple, dumb posts. Now he is feuding with others, but he's not funny like Ellen.
ReplyDeleteYour a tosser, McLeod. Go back to your dung-hut in Scotland.
