From today's Austin Chronicle:
Best Local Political Blog: PinkDome
The Texas Capitol was constructed of pink granite in 1885, and it's deconstructed, brick by brick, in 2006 by PinkDome. Solidifying itself as the gadfly on the rotunda wall, PinkDome catches all the whispers in the gallery, gauges them for absurdity or incompetence, and posts them for the rest of us to see.

From yesterday's SA Current:
Sure, you've mastered the art of towel-snapping politicians in the ass with your progressive cheekiness, but you're also blogging snobs and you ain't got the goods to back your shit up. You'll call other blogs' designs "train wrecks," but when I open PinkDome in Safari or Firefox, you're just an illegible mess of misformatted, overlapping blocks, like Mark Rothko through broken glasses.
You can guess who I've been sleeping with and who got no hot PinkDome sex from me.
BB updates: Not to brag too much (oh, who are we kidding), but we also got Best Local Blogger.
Best Local Blogger: Pink Dome
Is this Web site's name a double entendre? Of course, it refers to the rose-tinted edifice on Congress Avenue. But some of the elected officials satirized by the caustically observant bloggers at PinkDome must surely "see red." Then again, it could be a conceit to the facial hue of the blog's founder after one of those self-professed and well-documented tipsy weekends. The world may never know.

"Caustically observant", I love it.
Who the hell cares what a shit-hole paper from a shit-hole town thinks anyway? Live in San Antonio...I would rather be on the receiving end of a nasty IM from Mark Foley.
Hey, y'all won for best local blogger, too! Congrats on both!
I've never had a problem viewing using either Safari or Firefox, so they can just suck it.
what an an internet toughguy. no problems with firefox on my end. perhaps he should maximize his window - what an idea!
Haha SA Current EATS
What a crybaby loser
been a reader for a while, but this is my first post. really enjoy your blog and i agree with the other people who wish you'd post more often. you guys are part of my morning coffee routine. thanks!
unfortunately, pinkdome's page is usuall fucked-up on firefox (and has been for a year)... on more than one computer I use.
originalWONK - Are you sure you have the latest version of Firefox? I only use Firefox and have no issues on my PC at work or my "old" Mac at home.
You guys are funny as shit. There are no newspapers in San Antonio, so that must be some fictional critique.
Congratulations, ya'll. You're awesome!
Hey - that's sweet! and Congrats to True Blue Travis Democrats! Critics pick fort he"Best Coalition of the Willing" We are willing to do anything.. well, almost anything...
Congrats. I really enjoy reading your site. I don't, nor have I ever, lived in Austin and I don't regularly read the Chronicle. Part of the reason is that it seems their only mission in life is to slam the American-Statesman. I'm pretty neutral about the Statesman and the job it does or doesn't do even though I am sort of "retired" from Cox Newspapers. (I've never worked at the Statesman). Actually, I don't give a rat's ass one way or the other. But if I wanted to denigrate the A-AS I could do that all by myself. But as I said, the best to Pink Dome because it is funny and intelligent.
Well, sheeee-ut. Y'all look just fine in my Firefox.
I use FireFox all the time and have no problem with formatting in PD.
