I couldn’t help but visit one of the other political blogs tonight to see what they had going on as far as posts. As I was running through their topics I noticed a link on their blog roll to another blog called “Some Moron Alliance.”

“That’s real cute,” I told myself as I followed it back to Sonoran Alliance.

But I also had to ask myself, “Self, what’s the reason for so much animosity toward Sonoran Alliance? After all, Sonoran Alliance hasn’t really gone after Politico Mafioso. Hmmm…”

Just so I could put things in perspective, I went over to Alexa.com to see where we (SA) lined up against Politico Mafioso. Now keep in mind that Alexa measures traffic for the big boys out there like Drudge, The New York Times and MSNBC. So what you see below is a snapshot of our little sphere of the Arizona political blogosphere measured as a big fish in a giant ocean.  Here’s the graph that Alexa generated. The blue spikes you see are the number of page views for Sonoran Alliance while the red spikes, well, I can’t seem to find any on the graph, belong to Politico Mafioso. (Click on the graph to see a bigger image of it.)

So I’m going to have to follow some advice my grandmother used to tell me. And that is, “If you don’t have anything nice to say about anyone, than don’t say anything at all.”

Nevertheless, just to be nice to our “friend” over at Politico Mafioso, I’m going to put a link on our blogroll to his.

Have a great day Jeff!
