The Radikal Hits 80,000


I still remember the article in the Independent Florida Alligator... the one that included all the short-lived SG blogs of the day, but somehow managed to exclude TR -- conspiracy? concerted effort? Who knows.

There have been threats of lawsuits from AMC, fallout from various Alligator editors, TR covered the Grapski/Machen, Grapski/Alachua, & Grapski/Jones feuds, the blog was all over the Andrew Meyer Taser Issue with a YouTube.com video that went Top 20 worldwide and currently has been viewed nearly 140,000x. TheRadikal.com has covered Islamophobia @ UF, four consecutive years of UF Student Government, Zionism, extensively covered Michael Vick case (launching www.SickMikeVick.com); the blog features 20 full-length interviews, hundreds of archived posts, and boasts readers from various states of the Union and nations of the world.

TheRadikal.com will be around ten years from now, uniting free-thinkers, GoD Damn Independents, the mIsUnderstood, the NonConformists, Commies, Anarchists, weirdos, druggies, revolutionaries, "creeps," and all the corporate, A&F, GAP-sporting country club aspiring big business, cigar-smoking elitists that want to keep tabs on those they most...those they can't buy, those they can't conquer, those who will never bow down and take their shit.

Here's to 80,000...see you at a 100 :)

You can't call this a legitimate SG blog when you waste most of your time with petty bullshit entirely unrelated to SG.

For those of you wondering... I felt that the LG/JCB posts were a little too trashy for my blog. There was some stuff for an expose, but i went about as far as I wanted to, more so in fact.

TR is not an SG blog, as it's 2008 and despite the better attempts of fans & foes, SG is just not a primary objective anymore for this site.

does that mean that the "super-shocking interview" isnt going to happen?

Christian Duque said...

No, unfortunately not. Over the last few days I received several emails from from several people I respect asking me to discontinue this effort.

Many of your forget just how many names are tied to TR, all the interviews, contributions, all the articles...people just were getting worrisome and I decided to pull the plug.

I did acquire a topless photo, but who cares if you believe me or not. I have several of these. Over the years, people (mainly those sadly outside of 'The Know' & frusttrated at that) have vociferously denied existence of a TR-Vault...funny...how can you deny what you have no clue about?

Anyway, onward to the future.

A topless photo of Lacey? That proves nothing. There are tons of those....
