Last week we got an e-mail from a nice guy who had a good suggestion for the site. After we thanked him, he e-mailed back and cryptically let it be known that TheLostOgle.com is pretty popular these days at the State Capitol. I figured that he was being polite, and moved on with my day.
Then, I checked our inbox again, and found a link to this fancy thing Blognetnews.com has put together. Basically, it's a listing of Oklahoma's "Most Influential Political Blogs." And for some reason The Lost Ogle is #10.
Where to begin? The idea that this is a political blog seems to be quite a stretch. Sure, we take the occasional swipe at Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, and we enjoy using "Mary Fallin" and "State Trooper" in the same sentence as often as possible, but those are easy targets, fastballs down the middle. We spend most of our time doing things like alerting the world to Lauren Richardson and making fun of Bob Barry, Jr.
