Okay, maybe not in electronics sales…or patio furniture…or for that matter Cheetos(tm).

But in blogging? We kick their wussy, Rand-reading, ass, baby. As the Sitemeter stat will show, by the most conservative (ahem) reading possible we get 3,000 hits a day. Now let’s go look at their stats.

Per today’s NYT piece on how Enlightened the Wart has become after their previous attempts to manipulate public opinion flopped miserably, their latest effort is something called CheckOutBlog. Written by the buyers, those folks who determine day in and day out What You Will Have Available To Purchase if you live in a small enough town where all the other stores have been run out by now.

CheckOutBlog, we are told gets

So far, the Check Out receives about 1,000 hits a day, a relatively small figure.

We sneer at these feeble efforts, note that their fathers smelt of elderberries, and will taunt them again as necessary.

Although i’m not sure it would do much good. Of the “Bentonville Blogging Buyers” cited in the story, we have these:

On the blog, Marvin Deshommes, a merchandise manager in the lawn and garden department, tells readers that he belongs to the Christian Live Cathedral Church. His favorite quote from the Bible is Luke 12:48 — “To whom much is given, from him much will be required.”

Joe Muha, a video game buyer, discloses that Ayn Rand is one of his favorite authors. Danielle Pribbernow, a toy buyer, talks about her cat, Sierra.

We are never, never I tell you, going to beat these people in Cheetoh(tm) sales dammit. On the other hand once they expand this out of just electronics and into vegetable buying they will learn of the Zucchini of Chastisement and they will fear our mighty wrath.

Or something.

I haven’t gone and checked it out, but who wants to take odds on whether or not CheckOutBlog accepts comments? Hee hee.
