It's All About Hugh

I was listening to the always entertaining and informative Hugh Hewitt Radio Show last night and was pleasantly surprised to hear Hugh mention James Lileks and a World War II propaganda song that Lileks had submitted to him. I was even more surprised when Hugh included the humble gang here at Fraters Libertas along with such giants of the blogsphere as Lileks and Power Line as comprising the 'Northern Alliance of blogs' (licensed merchandise coming soon). We are grateful to be included in such esteemed company but would also like to suggest that our fellow Minnesota based blogger Mitch Berg at Shot in the Dark be added to the formidable alliance.

While we're at it we'd also like to extend a personal thank you to Hugh Hewitt for his continuing efforts to promote blogs to a wider audience. He's one of the first members of the "mainstream media" to recognize the emergence of blogs and deserves a lot of credit for his foresight. This one's for you Hugh.
