Our Favorite Blogs: Just Politics

This article is the fourth in a scheduled eight-part series. We here at Jumping in Pools love our fellow blogs out there on internet-land, so here is something to give back.

One of Our Favorite Blogs: Just Politics

Why They're Cool: Not only is Just Politics' writing some of the best on the conservative blogosphere, but its website is one of the slickest as well. It doesn't hurt to be ahead of the curve half the time too.

Look at that! Pictures!

Just Answers: Just Politics answers some of our questions:


What is your site's goal for the next year?

Like most blogs, increasing readership is a major goal as well as publishing longer pieces which run over the course of a week.

What makes your site unique?

I'd like to think the straight-to-it style of writing combined with a common sense approach that hopefully leads the reader to say: "It's obvious this is the truth."

When did you found your site?

April of 2009 is when the site first went online as Just Politics..? although I've had the domain name for a decade.

Anything else you would like to add?

Thank you for the opportunity to answer some questions for you!



I have no qualms about saying how cool Just Politics is. Go there. NOW. Visit them early and often and you'll love them as much as we do.

Our Favorite Blogs: Pirate's Cove

This article is the third in a scheduled eight-part series. We here at Jumping in Pools love our fellow blogs out there on internet-land, so here is something to give back.

One of our favorite blogs: Pirate's Cove

Why they're cool: Pirate's Cove is in-your-face unabashedly conservative, and that's a good thing. Take a minute and look at the right side of their blog and you'll see patriotic pictures and sayings. Here's a mash up of them:

Pirate's Cove Tells Us About Themselves

What is your site's goal for the next year?

I'd like to grow my stats to about 1,500-2,000 per day, per

Sitemeter, but, more importantly, I'd like to ramp up the commenting

by visitors.

What makes your site unique?

That's a toughy, since so many of us cover so much of the same

stories. Perhaps the one big difference is my Sunday Patriot Pinup

post, which I do without fail, along with using pinups for special

occasions, which has spawned some other types of posts at other

sites, such as The Other McCain's Rule Five Sunday. It's probably

one of the longest running features within the blogosphere.

Also, very few blogs still have any sort of pirate theme, though, I

generally avoid the pirate talk. It gets rather difficult to type in that

manner :)

When did you found your site?

Back in July 2004. Started out on Lycos, moved quickly to Typepad,

then finally moved to hosted Wordpress for the extra capabilities.

Anything else you would like to add?

One of the things I have always enjoyed about the conservative

blogosphere is how much fun we have along with the serious posts.

That is just something we do not find in the left-o-sphere. Life has

to be fun!

Here's a screenshot of Pirate's Cove:

So go there and enjoy the conservatism. Read, repeat, and comment on their articles!

Our Favorite Blogs: The Lonely Conservative

This article is the second in a scheduled eight-part series. We here at Jumping in Pools love our fellow blogs out there on internet-land, so here is something to give back.

One of our favorite blogs: The Lonely Conservative

Why they're cool: The thing that we love most about The Lonely Conservative is how similar they are to JiP. Both of us reside in "Blue" states, but are still conservative; we write very similar articles and link to each other occasionally; heck, we even have similar ratings on Technorati.

The Lonely Conservative Speaks:

What is your site's goal for the next year?

To be honest, after the past week or so I'm just trying to get through the month. March was the best month ever at TLC, things were really taking off. But then my site was hacked last week and the hacker installed code redirecting readers to suspicious sites. What a mess. Thankfully, the problem was fixed and steps were taken to protect the site, but it's been a great big set back.

As for 2011, I'm hoping the Democrats will have lost control of Congress and there will be a check on President Obama and his administration. Then we can start looking to 2012 and trying to get a good conservative nominated to run on the GOP ticket. CPAC should be pretty interesting next year, and I plan to attend the full three day conference. If you've never been I really recommend it - you get great speeches, great parties and the chance to meet candidates and representatives that you may not otherwise meet.

What makes your site unique?

I try to follow the latest news stories, but you never know when I'll go off on some kind of rant. You have to read every day or you may miss it. There are also a few guest contributors to give the site a different perspective on things every now and then. Alan's in Florida and Andy and Bill are here in Upstate New York.

When did you found your site?

January of 2008.

Anything else you would like to add?

May should be an interesting month. Both of my boys will be playing baseball, in two different leagues. Between baseball, a full time job and the blog I'll really be putting my time management skills to the test. If I start using a lot of baseball metaphors you'll know why.

Here's a screenshot of The Lonely Conservative:

So go there and enjoy what they have to say. Bookmark, read articles, and comment. Comment!

Our Favorite Blogs: Innominatus

This article is the first in a scheduled eight-part series. We here at Jumping in Pools love our fellow blogs out there on internet-land, so here is something to give back.

One of Our Favorite Blogs: Innominatus

Why they're cool- One of JiP's first friends on the scary internet, Innominatus has been good to us. Creative, funny, original, and political, there is never anything not to like about the site. Heck, Innominatus even shows up as one of our "tags" when we label a story.

Their blog in their own words:

What is your site's goal for the next year?

My only goal is to have fun with it. Wish I had more time and energy to devote to it, but alas... So I'll just continue to write what I feel like, when I feel like it. I used to feel pressure to keep producing fresh material and grow my traffic, but that turns writing into a chore and the quality begins to suffer. I'm not going down that road again.

What makes your site unique?

I have an Outrageously McBitchin' Header Graphic. Actually, my parody posts are the bread-n-butter of the site. I post an occasional item that is thoughtful and serious, but most of my posts are just spoofs that are meant only to entertain. I strive for originality, and if I can't think of something fresh and/or provocative, then I'll just not post that day.
When did you found your site?

I started it about 2.5 years ago but it sat dormant for a long time. Only since the current regime took over have I been posting regularly.

Anything else you would like to add?

I can't wait to do my Superior Dance in all the lefties' faces after this next election!
