The "No Booty" ((Dream))More Laffs: Not even worth linking to is the Albany Times Union's "Best of 2007" readers poll. If the tally of "Best Blogs" is any indication, you can't trust this poll. They have the newspaper's own blogs at #1, Ed Dague (who barely posts and has not posted since June 7th) as #2, and The Albany Eye (which hasn't posted since the Phish fiasco) as #3. The newspaper should EXCUSE it's OWN BLOGS from the poll, and any blog considered should have to be an ACTIVE blog, with a MINIMUM of at least one post a week! Or are the readers absolutely that STUPID that they don't know what a blog is unless it's a Times Union blog?!?!?!
