Happy Fifth Blogiversary to Us!

c&l fifth birthday_bba8e.jpg

Crooks and Liars turned five years old this past month. Wow, 5 years without a week off...LOL....I remember my best friend asking me when I first started C&L, why was I wasting my time "blogging?" I told him because I had to.

For those of you who want to send a little something to help pay the server costs, every buck counts. We do NOT get money from Soros or any other liberal grant. Thanks.

Happy 5th to all at C&L. You must have started this about the time I was dipping my toe into the blog world when I was posting for another website.

Thank you to everyone at C&L for being here and sharing so much valuable information with all of us little guppies who hang around here in the pond waiting to be fed more information each day. We sincerely appreciate all the effort that goes into making this such a very important site. Good on you, John, for getting the ball rolling five years ago today. Here's to the next great five years. Yeah, I'll drink to that (around 6pm tonight)


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

prostitutes such as the spamming dickwad known as agathalynn. To give her credit she's a persistent prostitute. Have you considered a career with Fox aggie?

I don't have teevee. Won't watch it.

So I depend on C&L to make me aware of what the idiots on the idiot-box are trying to get away with now.

Thanks.

Is that a cookie cake??? You deserve it! Thanks for doing what you do every day. We really count on you!

I've been lurking for 2yrs, then signed up. I love your site more than any other progressive site because you don't censor so many comments. Thanks for that as I'm sort of outspoken and need to vent. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! and you even put the biggest crooks and liars up on your blogoversary, tho Cheney is still lurking in the wings with something bad (of course). Let's torture Cheney with the TRUTH!!!

I've been a fan for about 4 1/2 years...LOVE YOU GUYS..

I (Gort) visit your blog at least once every day that I am online. I am the administrator of a progressive blog (EPU is a small band of progressive spin offs from commongroundcommonsense.org). We have not yet made the leap to a fully functional progressive resource such as you (although we have been in existence for over 2 years) but you are an excellent example of how to do the blog thing correctly. Imitation is the best form of flattery, so Tip of the hat to you and your talented crew. Well done! See you at the barricades! Carry on!

I'm tempted to donate, but will only do so once I am promised that after that cute little photo op, you won't leave that cake melting in the sun while you wander off and do something else.

Congrats, guys! When I started getting into politics last year, yours was the first blog I signed up for, and I check this place religiously for updates. Great job, and I hope the next five years are as awesome as what the past five undoubtedly were!

A perfect way to start the day.

You have to see this video of Beck. It won't disappoint.

Thanks for being one the greatest blogs in America!

Four years ago I started checking blogs. Within a couple of days I found myself always coming back to "the really cool one" C & L.

Now, this is the only site I visit regularly. The best and the brightest in the world of liberal truth sayers. I have found an internet home.


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

I've been with C&L since the start and I just donated for the first time today. Here's my proof (Confirmation number: 8RR07097M85647406.) Sorry it took so goddamn long I promise I'll do it more often from now on. Keep up the great bloggings!!

I was an occasional visitor before, then regular for nearly two myself.

without outrage. I need that to keep my blood warm. I'd like to ad that the existence of this site and others like it is proof that the US still rocks. Should they ever disappear we, in the rest of the world, will know the phrase "towards a more perfect union" has become meaningless.

Thank you all for all your hard work, especially Heather and Nichole as well as all the site monitors and by-liners! I've learned a tremendous amount from your work here, and have become more politically active. You folks are the best.

Happy Anniversary?

Found you guys through a link on Micheal Moore's website, about five years ago. Keep up the good work of giving us the story behind the story. Thanks to you alternate information and opinions are much more available than they used to be.

DIE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!

lsamsa's picture

of keeping so many of us hopeful.
When so much & so many seemed totally hell bent on destroying the U.S. for their own pleasure & gain...you guys kept the spotlight on them.
You have provided us with five years of facts & research (and some very fine music too!) allowing us to know about goings-on that we might not otherwise be privy to.
Congratulations...you all have much to feel very proud of...and most of all thank you!!!

But you guys are too classy for that.

Happy Anniversary, C&L, and keep up the good work!!

One of the Best Political Websites, that welcomes all Points of View and not just what the Political Moderator Decides to let through.Sorry Huff.

NFW McMean and the Idiot's Bastard Son would ever wish good to this site.

Death and destruction to all that visit (excluding Trolls) is more likely.

HAPPY B-DAY C&L. KEEP HAMMERING!

C&L has become the only political blog I visit as I know I will get the news that's relevant, plus the comment section on C&L is always educational and sometimes funny too. I also watch Keith and Rachel, listen to Stephanie Miller; and, as a top off, read my favorite comics such as Doonesbury and Tom Toles and I am ready to face the world with not only a strong liberal intellect but also the much needed humor alive and well in my heart. Thanks C&L.

for me this site revolutionized the way i was viewing the net. everything else is just imitation. keep on keeping on john.

I remember the early days. The shaky days. The unreliable, OMG what happened now days.
While I don't read or watch any more, I do still wish you well.
Here's to another five years of excellence in honesty.
