Aaron’s Blogopoly Board And The Commissar’s Map

This is my piece on Aaron the Liberal Slayer’s Blogopoly board. Check out his latest Blogopoly pieces. He writes:

With the pressure off, I guess my creative muse returned and I’ve developed another couple dozen Blogopoly pieces, and I’ll be releasing them over the next few days. Do you deserve Blogopolization? How can you POSSIBLY play Blogopoly without your own custom piece?

Aaron told me that red is for Bush, the steeple is for my faith, the barber pole…that’s obvious, and the hotel design is “the ultimate accomodation.”

The Commissar at Politburo Diktat created a map called Empire of the Blogs. I’m represented by the gold-colored country called “Barberia.” When I first found Politburo Diktat several months ago, I didn’t “get” it. Now that I do, it’s quite funny, especially the show trials. About the map, the Commissar writes:

In the pre-Marxist era, corrupt aristocrats, bloodsuckers of the people, dominated Central Europe. Not content to oppress the people individually, they joined together, to form a Blogging Empire.

Here it is comrades — The Empire of the Blogs

Here is map of Empire of the Blogs based on great Russian geographer Kutznutsov’ original manuscript. As always, it is clickable map, bringing the visitor right to the blogs noted.

I don’t know how these guys find time to do this stuff, but I like it.
