Claremont Conservative's 301st Post! A Bit of Housekeeping..

Heavens!

I never thought I would get this far, this quickly.

Let's have a bit of a recap over the last three hundred postings or so.

Since September this little blog has been punching well above its weight.

  • We've been cited in the local press over the White Party.
  • We've been photographed for the school website.
  • I've gotten job offers with several publications and institutes through some of the er.. provocative... questions I've asked at the Ath.
  • One such job, RedBlueAmerica.com, has offered me the chance to work on an international web start up. Here's my blog feed for that one. (I also help come up with the topics.) RedBlueAmerica.com is a subsidiary of E.W. Scripps Media company. You ought to all check it out. It's going to be big.
  • We're a contender for a national college conservative blog contest through the America's Future Foundation. It's a ten thousand dollar cash prize.
  • We've held some of the more colorful characters on our 5-C campus to account and in the process, we've no doubt helped them refine their arguments.
  • Most importantly of all, we've provided another voice to the Claremont Colleges -- a voice that probably always existed, but never spoke up. It's this
Not bad, not bad at all.

Sure, there have been bloopers. I've misspelled things and I've probably been meaner than some folks deserved. But all in all, I'm proud of what we've done together.

So where do we go from here?

Upwards on onwards, friends. Upwards and onwards.

Let's keep it going,
Charles Johnson

P.S. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make this blog better. I look forward to hearing from you. Oh and please keep the hate mail creative.

"We've".... hahaha

Yes we can.

If you noticed, I talked about things "we did."

There's a difference, but I doubt you would understand the distinction between things you've accomplished and things you kinda, sorta, hope to do.

Awww, it's the Little Blog that Could!

i'm proud of you, Chuckwalla.

I was actually making fun of the fact that you are the only credited author of this blog, so the first person plural makes you sound like a candidate for public office.

your posts are boring. anti-multiculturalism gets old. inflammatory rhetoric doesn't change people's minds. even the interesting $600mil capital campaign is old news.

Charles Johnson said...

If by anti-multiculturalism, you mean pro-human liberty, I thank you for the compliment.

I would say that I change more minds than you admit.

Oh and I didn't write about the 600 million. I simply linked to it.

parrying embarrassing realities doesn't make them less true.
