I am a ABC News Person of the Year!

I would like to thank ABC News for naming me a Person of the Year.  That’s right, ABC News ran a segment a few minutes ago on the nightly news naming me, along with all the other bloggers in the world, as Person of the Year.  What an honor and one I will not take lightly.  The news segment was well done and chronicled all the different areas in which bloggers have made a big difference this year.  From the US Presidential elections, to the war in Iraq, and now with the current disaster in Southeast Asia, they acknowledged that bloggers are not only a force for mainstream media to reckon with, but that bloggers can and do often make a difference.  I am so proud to be a Person of the Year and I thank ABC News, all the readers of this blog, and all the other bloggers out there in the blogosphere.  Oh yeah, they even called it the blogosphere.  Hear us roar!
