War Update
Posted by Frank J. at 09:57 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (42)

Support for the upcoming Great Blog War is overwhelming, and I'll sort through the supporters later today and probably add a list of them to my ever-expanding sidebar, starting with who started it all, Glenn (not Reynolds). He's a negro, and, with a negro on our side, we can't possibly lose!

Planning stages will commence soon, but we first need a cool name for our alliance. I don't want it to be anti-Instapundit, but, instead, a name showing our hope for a future where we all rule. Put suggestions in the comments section.

UPDATE TO WAR UPDATE: I thought the Enemy would ignore us, but he has linked to my declaration against him and then adopted part of it as a slogan in mockery.

Indeed.

When I get hom from work tonight, I will give more details on how this alliance will work start putting all the supporters names together and consider the suggestions for names for the alliance. Remember, we fight not just for the blogoshpere, but for the minds and hearts of all citizens of the world. They will hear us, and they will take heed.

How about the "State Department". We can try to make peace with Glenn Reynolds when it's utterly hopeless in trying to do so!! SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME!!!

#1 - Posted by: Jarred Nicholls on August 14, 2003 10:00 AM

But, don't I already rule?

#2 - Posted by: Tasty Manatees on August 14, 2003 10:08 AM

Maybe something deceptive and NORK-like, say The Rainbow Puppy Commune...

or something snarky, like UnTied Nations...

or triumphal, like Imperium of the Internet,

or completely meaningless and creepy, like ZXEA (acronyms, even ones that don't mean anything, can't be cool without a Z or an X
).

#3 - Posted by: slimedog on August 14, 2003 10:24 AM

OOOOh, I love word games!!! OK, lemme think on this one.

#4 - Posted by: Dana on August 14, 2003 10:38 AM

I have not seen enough evidence that Glenn Reynolds possesses WMDs. So make some up.

#5 - Posted by: Dumbozo on August 14, 2003 10:40 AM

THUS LET THE INIQUITOUS BE CUT DOWN SO THAT THE GROUND MAY BE FERTILE AGAIN SAITH THE LORD FRANK J. OF HOSTS.

We implore Reynolds to remand his soul to He Who Walks Behind The Black Screen - Frank J., for he will soon stand before His throne momentarily.

We are the Children Of The Blog.

LOL, Ted.

#13 - Posted by: Jennifer on August 14, 2003 11:31 AM

I like Ted's "Axis of Evil Naughty"!

#14 - Posted by: Susie on August 14, 2003 11:34 AM

Pundits for Puppies, Piranhas (piranhas hate monkeys, hippies, and bloggers named Glenn Reynolds), and Peace.

Because there can BE no peace while the Dark Lord yet breathes; and because, well, if we're for peace, that means we get to nuke the moon when we're all done.

Which is always a good thing, of course. Nuking the moon, I mean.

#15 - Posted by: ---v--- on August 14, 2003 11:41 AM

EDIT:

Just in case above post wasn't entirely clear: the parentheticals were explicative, and therefore not intended to be part of the actual name of the alliance. Sorry, I nitpick; I know.

So, the name I propose: Pundits for Puppies, Piranhas, and Peace.

You could even make a cool logo in photoshop -- something with four interlocking P's set at right angles around a joint central point -- something circular, symmetric, an iterative perfection....

And they could have little hippies impaled on the edges, too...

#16 - Posted by: ---v--- on August 14, 2003 11:47 AM

How about...."More Power!"...a la Tim Allen?

#17 - Posted by: Brent on August 14, 2003 12:29 PM

Monkey-Boy can't be the Axis of Naughty! That is taken already.

Ted is part of it.

#18 - Posted by: Jennifer on August 14, 2003 12:29 PM

Puppies Liberation Organization

What do you mean PLO is taken?

#19 - Posted by: Robert on August 14, 2003 12:38 PM

How about the U.N.? Since you're ganging up on a superpower and all.

#20 - Posted by: Jennifer on August 14, 2003 12:52 PM

Well, of course! Anyone who has ever been in a band or a gaming clan knows you can't do anything until you have a cool name!

I yearn for the day when I am not confused with Glenn Reynolds.

#23 - Posted by: glenn on August 14, 2003 01:30 PM

Instead of naming ourselves we should make up names for Glenn Renolyds' supporters...

Glen's Goobers

The Nancy-Boy Brigade

Puppy Oppression Organization (POO for short)

#24 - Posted by: Tim E on August 14, 2003 01:37 PM

Glenn (not Reynolds),
Since you are allying with me, when this war is over you will be just known as just "Glenn" and he will be known as "Glenn (not black)".

#25 - Posted by: Frank J. on August 14, 2003 01:37 PM

The War of Blogger Aggression (should be popular with Southerners)

Justice Blogs of America* (Aquaman sold separately)

Nuke the Pundit: A realistic plan for blog peace.

This redistribution of traffic is eerily similar to communism :P

#27 - Posted by: Vince on August 14, 2003 01:42 PM

Can I join in? I promise to bring my 10 regular readers into the movement.

#28 - Posted by: Shanti on August 14, 2003 02:19 PM

How about "Black Glenn" and "White Glenn"? hahahahaha

#29 - Posted by: glenn on August 14, 2003 02:30 PM

How ‘bout the “The IMAO Cyber Front Final Offensive” (vaguely – don’t Tic Frank Off…)

Or, for the more obscure: the “Mannlicher-Carcano Grassy Knoll Conspirators”… MCGKC (Almost looks Cyrillic or some goofy Roman Numeral)

Or, the obvious, “Frank’s Battle of Bull Run”. Ok, work with me, work with me…

#30 - Posted by: Hal on August 14, 2003 02:35 PM

All hail the great Reynolds! Rally to the call of the loyalists!

#31 - Posted by: Mike Smith on August 14, 2003 02:48 PM

I second Mike the Marine's vote for
Nuke the Pundit.

However, like Frank said, we need something that doesn't necessarily emphasize Instapundit's impending-and-unnecessarily-violent-death. We need something that gives hope to all readers and writers alike - something that tells of the new tomorrow.

Ah screw it...Nuke the Pundit is so much cooler...

-Jeff

#32 - Posted by: Jeff on August 14, 2003 03:06 PM

You should be known as:
"The Sixth Monarchists" or "The Nth Internationale"

RK Jones

#33 - Posted by: RK Jones on August 14, 2003 03:46 PM

I'm all for Mike the Marine's suggestions. My favorites are War of Blogger Agression (born and raised in Alabama, I'm particularly fond of this one :) and Nuke the Pundit. Good luck!

#34 - Posted by: Mackynzie on August 14, 2003 04:17 PM

Why does your declaration of war make me want to get out my copy of Animal Farm?

Four legs good, two legs better?

Or would it be more apt to point out that your people versus the powerful cry is similar to that of a soon to be world leader in , oh, say 1917

#35 - Posted by: TheYeti on August 14, 2003 04:38 PM

I think it should be the Fellowship of the Blog!

So who would be the nine black riders?

#36 - Posted by: Jack William Bell on August 14, 2003 04:46 PM

Hmmm...

A pox on you and your house for compelling me to visit InstaPundit. Hmmm, funny way for you to seek my support.

#38 - Posted by: Tiger on August 14, 2003 08:40 PM

OH, the titled: Hmmm! Fuckin' Frenzied Bloggin' Ninjas in Pursuit of Discord and Recognition, or otherwise known as FFBNPDR. It does have a ring to it, doesn't it?

#39 - Posted by: Tiger on August 14, 2003 08:44 PM

"When I get hom from work tonight"

When you get hom? What is this hom? Is that pronounced like "home," like the Minnesota-based furniture store? Is it, perhaps, a reference to the homestarrunner.com character Homsar, and if so, how is he implicated in this? The people demand answers!

#40 - Posted by: Big Dog on August 14, 2003 10:28 PM

YOU SHALL NOT OVERCOME! THE FOES OF INSTAPUNDIT SHALL BE CONQUERED BLENDED!

All hail, all hail, the Instapundit! He sitteth on his dark throne; though foes do cry, he conquereth them with a single server-killing link! His minions report to him from near and far; he gets in every newspaper story about "web logs".

Let a thousand puppies blend.

Nice site.
