Local site a top dog in Web logs:

"A fraudulent document and a fallen television icon propelled a trio of online writers to Internet stardom earlier this year when they used their Web site, Power Line, to help uncover the truth of a fake story shown on CBS' '60 Minutes.'

The rise to celebrity status was validated Sunday when Time magazine named Twin Cities-based Power Line the 'Blog of the Year,' the first such award from the magazine.

'It's so gratifying,' said Scott Johnson, a Minneapolis banker and one of three authors at the site (www.powerlineblog.com). 'It's totally unexpected.'"
