We vote for Americablog - for the level of awareness and insight that a man like John brings to the endeavour.

The Common Ills. When he or she takes the gloves, watch out NPR ombudsman, Daniel Okrent and everyone else. It's also funny as hell when it does a humor post like "Senator Dumb Butt"; "Rudith Miller" and others.
And "Should This Marrige Be Saved" is a must read for anyone still saying "We're going to turn it around in Iraq."
And did I mention Kat and Kat's Korner? That's a regular feature. Say no to the children of Destiny and their proganda ("Soldier").
"Bullies Without Borders" = the adminstration.
"Bully Boy" = Bush.
This is a blog that can go from "Here's what's on Democracy Now! and in The New York Times" to heavy hitting without stripping the gears.
The "Red" states series was a must read.
They took on the New York Times/CBS Poll and revealed all that was flawed about the day it was published. If you paid attention, Adam Nagourney (who co-wrote the coverage of the poll) only backed off from this "values" debate two Sundays ago. If you read The Common Ills that November day, you didn't have to wait for January for the co-author to disown the "values" debate he pushed.
The Common Ills is the best new blog. It makes me laugh, it makes me think.

While I deeply deeply appreciate the honor of being nominated for a Koufax, I feel obliged to point out that I actually started Gallimaufry in Nov 2003 and have posts in both Nov and Dec. of that year. Bad timing on my part, eh?

I would have emailed you this comment, but Wampum is one of the blogs whose main page does not load correctly in my version of Mozilla for some reason. It flashes briefly on the screen and then disappears leaving the headline above a blank screen.

What a lovely surprise to have while recovering from knee surgery.

BRAD BLOG (bradblog.com) is the only blog I've repeatedly visited day in day out.

It's worth it for the 2004 Election Fraud (more specifically Ohio) coverage alone.

(AND.. with standards of reporting that put the mainstream media's journalistic standards to shame.)

"Bradblog"

I vote for www.Bradblog.com aka> Brad Friedman who brings many skills to the blog table ... his web site is powerful with wonderful design, features and layout.

He delivers well written, researched, supported and thought provoking articles that inspire and motivate the masses. His "Clint Curtis" series of articles are indicative of his many talents and "perseverance" to finding the truth.

Judging him by the content of his articles ... I would say Brad Friedman is a journalist that "really" supports and believes in Democracy, America and its citizens. A kind, good hearted, honest person that really cares about people.

The Bradblog.

A unique, highly pleasurable trip through some of the brightest minds in cyberspace.
Spirited, factual, relevant articles by the creator, Brad Friedman.
All in all, inspiring, uplifting, and motivating.

Posted by: Teresa at January 11, 2005 03:18 PM

The Washington Note: it's reflective & cogent, often includes an international focus missing from other blogs, and is highly expert/insightful/innovative on policy analysis (not surprising given its author).

Also, it likely attracts the most knowlegeable and erudite commenters seen anywhere in the blogosphere...

Total Information Awareness for pushing the boundaries of what blogs can do, and doing it with style. He's proving every day that blogs can be places for thoughtful analysis and in-depth conversation, not just quick hits and pungent opinion.

(BTW, Wampum is good at that, too.)

What a surprise to know that the Bradblog is not Professional. It has been my home page for the last couple of months and the best reading on the web. I look forward to following Velvetrevolution.us which he recently started. I hope the vote counters realize that those that listed Brad Blog in two words actually were voting for Bradblog one word.

THE BRAD BLOG
By far the best blog on the internet. While being the most compelling election fraud bloggist, Brad is witty, smart,informed and does his homework thoroughly. He broke the Clint Curtis story and puts mainstream media to shame. He has motivated me into action and will continue to do so with his VELVET REVOLUTION. He is definitely deserving of this award!
