According to the annual right-wing blog awards at Right Wing News, IMAO is still the 2nd funniest right-wing blog despite my subpar blogging… probably because right-wingers aren’t that funny. I mean, what kind of things do dim-witted prudes like us laugh at? I guess poor people falling down.
Heh. Poor people falling down.
Anyway, according to voting I’m not even close to as funny as Iowahawk, but I am funnier than Ace and his crazed Ewok. Strangely, Jim Treacher didn’t even get a mention; maybe he needs a humorous catch phrase so people know he’s joking. “Wokka wokka!”
Also, Allahpundit was named 4th most annoying right of center blogger, but I like how annoying he is. Someone has to dampen enthusiasm and keep everyone in reality… you just can’t be too mindless about it or you end up as Frum. Then you might as well just die.
Or maybe Treacher’s just not funny!
Congrats on second place!
You should probably demand a recount though. I’m pretty sure you should have gotten first. Then again that might make you start to say unrealistically funny things. This will keep you grounded.
If Hot Air got most over rated and best over all then there’s something hinky with that. Demand a recount!
Good news bad news situation because of that competition I discovered iOwnTheWorld, however, I also discovered that the i in that statement wasn’t me.
“…despite my subpar blogging…”
Yeah, Frank, you’ve had some real birdies and eagles, lately.
You could be on par with Tiger Woods – or The One!
(Get well quickly, Mr. Treacher.)
I have to say you make me laugh. Keep it up your doing a great job.
I have not read all of the bloggers but your stuff is great. You most likely should have won!
>> Ace and his crazed Ewok
Psst… Ace IS the crazed Ewok.
Congratulations on the recognition. Your aphorisms are always fun to quote on Facebook.
He’s been pretty lame this past year.
Congrats, Frank! Your ranking is well deserved.
But don’t go shouting “I’m number two!” from the rooftops.
Congratulations, even if 2nd is really the 1st loser.
Frum is right of center?
Did they find a dyslexic person to figure out the ordering for 1st through 4th?
That’s officially the first time I’ve seen First Place at the bottom of the list and last place at the top of the list. I’d probably be more offended but my name isn’t on any of those lists.
Congrats on being chosen as the funniest non-Iowahawk conservative blogger. Well deserved.
Congratulations, Frank J! Even competing with the Iowahawk is an honor! I read you blog more than his but you have to admit his stuff is “out there”… IMAO is the best!
That is very instructive. Apparently, voter apathy among conservative bloggers is roughly twice that of the American public. 18%??? Well, congratulations! Are you claiming a mandate to continue sub-blogging?
Congratulations, Frank. Remember that second place is the first loser. So, you are a failure. You bring disgrace upon your IMAO family until you actually win.
Filthy Lies might be in order.
Dude, after perusing those other top 4 sites, methinks you need a better get-out-the-vote effort. Clearly, Iowahawk has some SEIU thugs persuading people to vote for him.
Request a recount, take this all the way to the Supreme court, you was robbed.
The thing about Iowahawk is that he hardly ever blogs. The guy can go a whole week without saying a thing. He’s too busy building cars, apparently.
IMAO doesn’t have that problem – exactly. Instead, Frank is busy building soft, squishy things – including babies. Even so, he manages to spit-up several paragraphs per day with a non-zero chance of making us laugh… Now, THAT’S dedication! Yay!
As opposed to when? Yuck!
I saw that yesterday at IOTW. Congrats Frank!
But now it’s time to go down cellar and dig up them taters afore they get all rotty.
Frank – “Aw, this one looks like a heart!”
Iowahawk is the funniest man on the internet. It’s too bad some jerk got him hooked on Twitter and now he blogs even less frequently.
Wait… didn’t Frank introduce him to Twitter? Now I understand, it’s all part of Frank’s plan to sabotage iowahawk and become the funniest blogger.
@DamnCat
That’s funny. (http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/13/it-was-one-year-ago-today/)
I don’t have to read Iowahawk every day because I know if he does write something exceptionally funny, someone here at IMAO will tell me about it. IMAO, the Avis of humor blogs.
I have a thought on your second place finish. I really wouldn’t worry about it, as I doubt if any of the people who comment here will worry much about it. I know I don’t. Your situation kind of reminds me of back when I was a first termer in the USAF many, many years ago. I attended tech school at Amarillo AFB, TX. we students would march from our barracks area to school and back again every day Mon thru Fri. It was about a half mile from point A to point B and marching was the required way to get to school. There were several school squadrons, at least ten or twelve as I recall, involved in this daily marching activity. It was really not all that unpleasant, you could kind of relax your mind and just go with the flow and rhythm of the marching feet. The only bad part was…every Friday a group of officers would grade each squadron’s marching abilities as we passed a stand of bleachers they were perched upon in order to better observe and grade us. My squadron, as far as I could tell, marched as well as any other squadron marched…yet, we never won the marching contest. Not even once. In fact we usually came in at fourth or fifth place. However, we students really didn’t care as we figured we’d done the best we could and anyway winning got you nothing! There was absolutely no reward for coming in first, and near as I can see that’s the case with this award…so I say don’t fret it! We did however have this dipstick classic a$$hole 2nd Lt. assistant squadron commander and his equally a$$hole-ish lap dog of a first sgt. WHO DID CARE!! But that’s a story for another time.
Frank, you should retain a good lawyer and demand a recount. It’s the new normal.
I mean, what kind of things do dim-witted prudes like us laugh at? I guess poor people falling down.
I also enjoy seeing poor people kicked in the groin. I mean, hey, what fascist right-winger racist Nazi doesn’t, right?
Congratulations on
doingbeing #2!Is it my imagination or is there an unusual amount of hurdle race videos on You Tube where the runner just trips over or barrages through the hurdles?
It’s like they finished their first-ever shuffleboard game and thought, “Okay, now I’m fully practiced and ready to compete in the hurdle tournament finals.”
First Scrappleface (damn you Scrappleface!) was number one and you were number two.
Now it’s Iowahawk.
Did you ever think that maybe Hawkins thinks you’re a steaming pile of number two?
Oh. So you get second place in some stupid survey and now you think you can rest on your laurels and take a day offf? Get up and start being funny! Besides your laurels will get creased if you keep resting on them like that.
The following is a “recipe” comment by “Drunken Hobo” at AoSHQ in their “Holiday Recipe Thread II.” It made me laugh.

Don’t forget to beat off the turner.
Throw the bowl out the window.
Check the whiskey again..
Someone introduced Iowahawk to Twitter?
Find that someone. And make that someone pay.
At first I was like “SECOND funniest??” but yeah, Iowahawk is on a level that nothing else is. However, for easy laughs, I come here.
The only thing funnier than poor people falling down is PUSHING them down, though.
But don’t even get me started on Allahpundit and Jazz Shaw.
How can anybody call this blog the second funniest? Behind something from Iowa? Some blog called IowaPigeon or something like that? That ain’t right!
I’ve never been in Iowa. Oh sure, I’ve flown over it. And I actually saw it from Omaha, Nebraska across some river. Frankly, I thought it looked like a post-atomic wasteland, but what do I know? But never been actually in that state. The only reason anybody ever cares about that state is when the primaries start, because they decided to have their primaries first otherwise people would just think Iowa is some strange Indian word, let alone a state. Every 4 years as the primaries kick-off there it is, Iowa.
Nope, that was me. And I’m not sorry! NYAH-HA-HA!!!
[Treacher also got me interested in Twitter. -Ed.]
Funnier than poor people falling down or even being pushed down is them being pushed down whilst holding a welfare check on the way to vote for Obama,
Frank, being no. 2 is all you fault. You haven’t contracted Chuck Norris to take care of the opposition. hint hint.
Congrats to Frank for being the #1 loser!
I think storm1911 is on to something. Isn’t this site “Chuck Norris Approved” or Chuck Norris Allows You To Live” or something? I’m sure if the other blogs knew they risked the wrath of Chuck Norris they’d leave blogging and take up catering or something.
I actually opened a twitter account just so I could follow @iowahawkblog.
