One of the things that's bizarre about notability is that it requires reliable
sources to establish notability.  Something that has a Rush Limbaugh episode
dedicated to it is probably notable in any sane sense, even if Rush Limbaugh
isn't a reliable source.  Likewise, whether blogs are reliable sources
really shouldn't have anything to do with whether blogs indicate notability.
