I was just mentioned on CNN
My post from Bloggers Unite was quoted on CNN this morning. Thanks Rich for making this happen. This was pretty sweet and for a really good cause.

It is great that they featured two people that usually have nothing to do with politics and real world issues.
What the hell were they thinking?

I know! It was TOTALLY unexpected for me. The funny thing was that at first when I saw it live I didn’t even recognize my own blog! LOL

What was the impact on your site traffic??
On 05/15/08 at 11:08 am
Kevin said:
Eh not anything really. But the fact that I was mentioned on there gives me some cred I guess.

Hey, congrats on the mention, and in a good context, too. Beats the hell out of getting your site mentioned for something less savory, that’s for certain.
On 05/15/08 at 11:27 am
Kevin said:
I thought for sure I would only get mentioned with an arrest.

You are big time now.
I wrote about beer drinking and how it is cheaper than driving officially, and I feel like a tool. Save oil, I guess.
Nice work.

Want to get a beer?

Although it did kind of remind me of like, Leave it to Beaver and Eddie Haskell showing up in the kitchen in his best sweater. Then when Mrs. Cleaver leaves the room he’s like, ‘Wally, lets go kill a hooker!’.

You have no idea… just wait until you see what I break out next week.

Congrats! I assume you’ll be seeing a number of odd comments from new site visitors shortly! Just be sure to educated them with a few new Words of the Day - like ‘j-lube’ or ‘ear rapping.’

Kevin said:
Just wait until next week when I scare them all away.

WOW, Kevin! Way to go…!!!!!!
Don’t forget those of us who have been there since the beginning when you’re all famous… some of us remember Brian Fellowes!
sidenote: I’m going to interview a friend of mine on a blog soon. He is from The Gambia and we’ve been buddies for a couple of years now- he has a position in the military- very high up. He was in Darfur as a UN observer for at least 6 months. He just got home a month or so ago. He went from being the most sunshine-y person I have ever corresponded with to being very upset- shaken to the core by the things he has seen. So we’re going to spread the word about what is really going there. I’ll let you know when it happens. Later on I’ll also forward you a profile of a friend of mine who works with an organization to help Darfur, and they even went to Washington last fall and had convos with politicians about it.
I’m really amazed you’re doing all this! Trisha

Let me know about those.

Sarahh said:
Well I’ll be damned. Good job…
Did you have to apply for that or did they pluck you out of the masses?
On 05/15/08 at 2:48 pm
Kevin said:
I was one of ten blogs sent in to CNN and they picked what ones they wanted to air.
On 05/15/08 at 2:53 pm
Sarahh said:
THAT is awesome. Congrats!
I was mentioned on CNN once. But the records have been expunged. So I can’t talk about it.
On 05/15/08 at 3:49 pm

I know when is see a topic on the news…and i am interested about it…Ill go to the site the news mention and either love it or hate it…Might I say…this may or may not have gained you more readership and future hate mail!
Like I saw on CNN about dooce.com and now im hooked on this ladies blog…she talks about her life as a mother and wife and makes the truth funny…
probably not your thing…but ladies and moms should totally check it out!

ALL blogs are inconsequential. A blog with a cause doesn’t make it any better. I say this as a blogger.
