A recent study by the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon — using complex algorithms, water flow analysis, and a smidgen of eye of newt — determined the 100 blogs (that’s short for “weblogs”) that keep readers most up to date on current news.

The Nose On Your Face came in at #23.

That a fake news blog would make a list of the finest real news blogs says much about either the sobriety of the Carnegie Mellon study team, or the overall quality of news blogs. Regardless, we’re proud that the study solidifies what we have been saying for quite some time: TNOYF is the top fake news organization out there. To wit, none of our faux news competitors — not CNN, the Daily Kos, the AP, not even the New York Times – made the list. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

Recognition of this sort does not come often, and we are humbled. And amused. And just a bit vexed. Regardless, the sky is the limit now. To paraphrase the great Cuban-American realtor Tony Montana, “First you get the high ranking on a study from Carnegie Mellon that no one who is not from Carnegie Mellon can understand anyway, then you get the money, then you get the women.”

Look out ladies. Here we come.

On Sunday afternoon at about 1PM CST/2PM EST, Buckley and Potfry will be on the radio with Texas energy analyst Alan “Petrodamus” Lammey at Talk Radio KPRC in Houston.  If you’re in the area, please tune in and check us out, or listen live on the web.

And special thanks to Houston radio personality and blogger extraordinaire Laurie Kendrick for helping us get introduced to Alan.

This week, Potfry was on BBC’s “World Have Your Say” radio program and The Guardian’s weekly podcast “Islamophonic” discussing Islamic Rage Boy and the role of humor in dealing with extremism.

The entire one hour BBC program is here (we don’t come on until about half-way through), or here’s a brief clip:

The “Islamophonic” program is available here (Potfry’s segment is near the beginning).
