Bloggers 1, Ridge 0

Every once in a while I am reminded of the awesome power that I, as a blogger, possess.

For example, the other day I sent a little warning shot to Tom Ridge

. He obviously got the message. Clearly, it was my blog post that persuaded him it was in his best interest to "spend more time with the family." Chalk up another victory for the conservative side.

Then today, I included Joe the Plumber on my list of the 10 Most Annoying Republicans. A few minutes later, I noticed that he's leaving the GOP.

Clearly, these events are not mere coincidence. This is, indeed, heady stuff. With great power, comes great responsibility ...
