Since being listed as Scotland's number one political blog (have I mentioned that before?), Iain Dale's book on blogging has seen me ranked as #92 on the all-UK 500 list.
That one was voted for by the people, so with Tartan Hero unconstrained by the dilemma of modesty in choosing himself for the Scottish list, inevitably finished above me on this one.
I didn't actually know there was a vote taking place. If I did, I may have organised some sort of campaign as finishing below Melanie Phillips leaves a somewhat bitter taste in the mouth. Still I did come above Oliver Kamm.
Tartan Hero,
as well as wishing himself a happy birthday, has listed his Top Ten SNP blogs -

The narcissism of bloggers is a joy to behold!
However, one day you are Top of the Pops and the next day, you are the pits - such is life!
Just ask Archbishop Desmond Tutu -

Once regarded as the moral conscience of the western liberal free press and the free wrold, but now, becuase he is criticising the wrong racist regimes he's being accused of being a racist!
all the best RuT!
ps
I once wrote a wee squib about Melanie Phalangist for the old Rafah Pundits blog (censored by the illegal racist Israeli occupiers - such is Israel's love for democracy and freedom) - I might post it to RuT and join in the unalloyed ego tripping!
pps
Osama,
you did say that Rolloed-up Trousers, your own blog in fact, has been voted Scotland's TOP unaligned blog?

Here is another egotistical blogger,
going on about how brilliant Archbishop Desmond Tutu is -

When we all know Tutu is a racist, just like that commie-pinko liberal, the Archbishop of Canterbury -

BBC
Said pinko-liberal Williams -
Referring to US political advisers, he added that "we do hear talk from some quarters of action against Syria, or against Iran".
"I can't understand what planet such persons are living on when you see the conditions that are already there. The region is still a tinderbox," Dr Williams said.
Earlier, the archbishop said "events of the last few years have done terrible damage in the whole of this region".
Who will rid us of these troublesome Achbishops and tiresome bloggers?

Congrats, RuT - and I hope the recognition doesn't go to your head, bro - you're an honest blogger, with your principles evidently rooted in the best of Islam. May Allah continue to guide you and all glory and thanks are for Him alone.
