Influential blogger John Hawkins from RWN/Town Hall/Pajamas Media released his the Top 40 Conservative Blogs For 2010 (first quarter edition) and to my surprise, WZ is #14.
Here are the top 15:
15) Megan McArdle
14) Weasel Zippers
13) Newsreal
12) Say Anything
11) Big Hollywood
10) Riehl World View
9) IMAO
8) Michelle Malkin
7) RedState
6) Ace Of Spades HQ
5) Instapundit
4) The Corner
3) Gateway Pundit
2) Newsbusters
1) Hot Air
Note: You guys make this site what it is. Although I love to hear kind words from readers I don't want to seem like a "Yaaaay, look at me, everyone tell me how awesome I am" blogger (looking at you Charles Johnson), that's the reason why I never participated in the (now defunct) Weblog Awards....
ZIP
Congratulations to Zip and fellow bloggers!! You do great work for us!

If you were O'Reilly, you'd be talking about this every day for the next two weeks:)
WZ has earned it by being so on top of things. I have sent many people here to stay up to the minute on what's going on.
Keep up the great work, team!
