    Is there another copy of the video, it doesn’t seem to be working.

    “Bitter, spence?”

    Oh sure. That’s your best answer to rationalize all the very bias that you guys decry in the MSM.

    Well, that was great for a laugh. 🙂

    Someone sent me this, too:

    Current IPR Alexa rank: 149,783rd most popular site on the Internet.

    Current TPW Alexa rank: 174,927th most popular site on the Internet.

    You’re whipping their ass on Sitemeter, too. More visits, and LOTS
    more page views (look at the “past 30 days” graphs).

    Your numbers haven’t gone hockey-stick yet, but in relation to TPW
    you’ve been competitive since the beginning and and you’re moving up.

    I’ll post another joke story 958 posts from now. Deal?

    The Dailykos even linked to us the other day and wrote an article about our story on the LP’s press release regarding Biden.

    With over 1500 hits a day, with visitors ranging from Progressives and Socialists to Conservatives and Libertarians–I’d say we’re doing alright. We’ve been commented on by several VERY large blogs (including LewRockwell and CATO’s Hit & Run).

    I don’t consider IPW as a “news site”, but rather an outlet for information.

  9. Ross Levin August 26, 2008

    Bitter, spence?

    As far as I know, IPR isn’t anyone’s full time job. And as far as I know, we don’t have investigative journalists or different departments or anything like that. We’re doing the best with what we have, and I’d say that it’s pretty damn good.

    Not that funny, really.

    “As much as I like it, I would have recommended posting it on a more blog oriented thing like LFV, not on a news site.”

    You mean IPR is still a news site? I thought this site had just degenerated into just another TPW, albeit skewed to more radical ends. I must have fallen asleep…

    Ross, many people have told Milnes that the “progressive alliance” idea isn’t all bad.

    But telling Milnes “not to get caught up in illusions about yourself” is like telling Hillary Clinton that we should have a woman president, but not her.

    IOW, it’s impossible. Hillary is about Hillary. Milnes is about Milnes. They’re both 100% solely about themselves.

    The only difference is that Hillary is a player, with significant support from both voters and power brokers. Whereas Milnes is a bad joke, with no support from anyone. Not even Gibby the Cat would run on a ticket with Milnes.

    I LOL’d heartily. Well done.

    I’ve seen it before with this one other guy. I don’t know where.

  14. Gene Trosper August 25, 2008

    That’s friggin hilarious, G.E.!!!

  15. Ross Levin August 25, 2008

    Give the man a break! (I’m talking about GE)

    Milnes – the “Progressive Alliance” strategy ain’t bad. Just don’t get caught up in illusions about yourself. Take a good look in the mirror very often.

    And if you want to help someone out, you can try to help John Murphy, a man running for Congress as an independent who is endorsed by the Green, Libertarian, and Reform Parties. His website is http://www.johnmurphyforcongress.org and you can contact him at [email protected]

    Come on GE, admit it…you like Milnes a little bit don’t you?

  17. Mike Theodore August 25, 2008

    As much as I like it, I would have recommended posting it on a more blog oriented thing like LFV, not on a news site.

    Come on, inD… We have 958 posts here. Indulge me just this once.
