This seeks to honor those bloggers who are consistently good but for whatever reason do not receive the recognition they deserve. I was a bit subjective in putting together this list - I figured if a blog was in the top 200 or so in the TLB's Ecosystem (top 50 Lefties), it was pretty well recognized. Let's face it, in the real world, none of us, even Atrios, is recognized enough.
(I also lost this list due to computer failure a couple of times, so if you nominated someone and I left them out, please email me ASAP.x)

Posted by: NTodd at January 12, 2005 02:29 PMYou might want to re-think leaving people out based on the TLB ranking system. That thing's been haywire for the last several months.
Posted by: Roxanne at January 12, 2005 02:33 PMI like Busy, Busy, Busy from this list.
You may want to re-think a couple of these. Daily Howler is amazing, but he's been quoted in the New York Times and on Meet the Press. How much "wider recognition" can you get than that?
Posted by: Rob Salkowitz at January 12, 2005 02:48 PMI think TLB put in a massive overhaul just a week ago, so I feel a bit more confident about it.
I did waffle over the Howler, but like some earlier categories, erred on the side of caution. If our readers believe it has enough recognition, I imagine they'll vote for someone else, neh?

Posted by: mauigal at January 13, 2005 11:36 AMThe Carpetbagger Report
I can't believe that The Carpetbagger Report isn't one of the best known blogs already. There are many bloggers I'd like to pick, but Carpet Bagger clearly deserves more recognition. He's like The Daily Show of blogs, but much more informative.
Posted by: Doctor Biobrain at January 13, 2005 11:39 AMI vote for rude pundit.
Posted by: dolmann at January 13, 2005 11:40 AMPortland Communique. Although the content is mostly of interest to citizens of Portland (OR), it's an outstanding political blog that keeps close tabs on local city/state issues and people.
Posted by: Amanda at January 13, 2005 11:41 AMThe Carpetbagger Report most definitely.
Posted by: RaDSaM at January 13, 2005 11:43 AMI vote for No More Mister Nice Blog. He provides interesting juxtapositions of articles or quotations that highlight the hypocrisy--and outright lies-- of the Right. His postings are always solid analyses of the failures of the media. They also provide the texts he's analyzing, so you can draw your own conclusions as well.

While there are many good blogs, I cant think of another that is such high quality and voluminous daily analysis of the relevant issues (well, every weekday). His site is my prime political newscast of the day.

My favorite blog on the web is Spontaneous Arising. Mike Hawkins consistently blogs a wide array of intelligent, timely and pertinent news items. The photos and graphics are always top-shelf, impeccible and artfully presented. Mike is a *great* writer and an excellent reporter, a person with an authentic American "voice." He has the intuitive senses of a veteran news hound and the sensibilities of a yogic master. Coming from Boulder, Spontaneous Arising is well positioned to preview the rising tide of spontaneous revolution in America. There is no finer blog that's clickable for those with a rounded variety of interests and concerns.

Hint, Brad: when you block a troll from an ISP that uses dynamic addressing, you end up blocking everyone from the same ISP.

But I had to reply to JS's comment because it would seem to give the wrong (completely) impression.
Though he/she voted for The BRAD BLOG (thanks!), he/she also said:
"I vote for BradBlog, despite the owner's unfortunate overuse of blocking to prevent comments.
Hint, Brad: when you block a troll from an ISP that uses dynamic addressing, you end up blocking everyone from the same ISP."
I block almost nobody. Have less than 4 addresses on my blocked list after a year, and none of those addresses should block an entire ISP! So please email me, and let me know what's up, and we'll fix whatever is keeping you inappropriately from getting in!
Thanks! (And thanks Wampum for the Sandies! Much fun! And I could use some these days! :-)

Posted by: holly at January 14, 2005 03:32 AMMajikthise poses important questions in a unique way. As we see the ruling paradigm of the media and the web slowly dumbing people down (overall), this blog constantly, CONSTANTLY, strives to try to make my brain cells come alive. I hope others feel the same way.
Others sort of do this same thing, but there is far more clutter. Plus, this blogger is getting better at focusing on important philosophical issues and how they relate to the overall decline in the USA of an appreciation of functional intelligence, and the diminution of appreciation that human intelligence is evolutionary and is actually advancing, despite the anecdotal information presented by some of the blogs entered in this very category (!).
I'd like to see more direct coverage of the history of anti-intellectualism in the USA in the blogger's direct information, but some of the links to philosophy web sites get around to that fairly quickly.
I just wish the blogger had better taste in music, though I do love Johnny Cash.

Although other nominess also meet this criterion, that's reason #1 to select this Blog. Since both his own Jewishness and his passion for baseball are subjects visited with some frequency, any award named for Koufax and yet attached to political commentary of any sort, should go to The Bonassus.

An outstanding blog. Eric Martin cranks out one amazing essay after another.
Furthermore, he involves himself consistently in the comments section in a manner that illuminates the discussion.
I don't know how the man manages to maintain the volume and quality of his blog, but he does.
Eric is most deserving of recognition. Please be sure that he recieves it.

Posted by: KK at January 16, 2005 04:35 AMMy vote's for Iddybud--although this was a tough category and I've actually spent a few days pondering.
Posted by: Semidi at January 16, 2005 05:04 AMHere's another for Flogging the Simian. This site is the intellectual highlight of my day and a great break from the terrabytes of mindless crap I visit on an almost daily basis. All Americans should pay a visit to this blog on a regular basis.
Posted by: Guy Thomas at January 16, 2005 07:44 AMPatriotboy
Posted by: Honky at January 16, 2005 09:58 AMAbsolutely. Flogging the Simian is just about the only blog I visit regularly. It provides views and analysis that go deeper than what is offered by a million other blogs.
Soj seems intent not merely to be a blogger, but an honest to god journalist (I'm refering specifically to the Jack Idema series and the Uklrainian Election), which is more than can be said for most.
I also appreciate news from far away countries with funny names and unrecognizable flags, which reminds me that, yes, there is in fact a world outside of US politics and yes, it is worthy of our full attention. There Interweb seems to be saturated by Americo-centric blogs, and Flogging the Simian breaks the mold in style.
Rock on.
Posted by: Rictor at January 16, 2005 10:01 AMFlogging The Simian offers one of the most articulate understandings of world events that in the United States seem obscure but that to the rest of the world are more than germane. I visit FTS daily and value highly the writing and analysis.
Posted by: sanspotash at January 16, 2005 11:13 AMFLOGGING THE SIMIAN
Soj is on the cutting edge. The information she shares is not available, for free, anywhere else. In addition, most of the information exposes the most egregious actions of the United States. I don’t mean lies about social security, or the erosion of the bill of rights, I mean the thousands that are butchered because of US policy.
For years I have been wishing for a site that summarized international events that go unnoticed by American media, until it is too late.
Soj is going to be famous, and you should be able to say you were there from the beginning.
Posted by: slushmonkey at January 16, 2005 11:44 AMI hardly recognize myself, so I'll vote for me: The Bonassus.

I vote for... me. Check out my blog. You'll see a variety of pictures of me. You'll see my political views. It's about me. It's all about me. I love me...and so should you.
I need you to vote for me. I need to show others that I am somebody and that I am accepted by more than the 5 regular people that post comments on my site (I'm not including the dozens of neo-con trolls that try to post comments disagreeing with me).
I also need to make the blog profitable as I surely won't find work as a minister if any prospective congregation actually saw the site. Think of a vote for me sorta like TSUNAMI AID but different, call it CHUCKIE AID. So please, do your part to make the world a better place and vote for me.
Barkbarkwoofwoof is by far the most underrated while being the most literate of all the blogs I've visited over the last year. Vote for Mustang Bobby!

Am I supposed to put some huge commentary up with this? I thought it was just a vote.
[since the koufaxs are about fun (tabulators, voters, and nominees) and recognition of what works, for a dozen or so values of "works", you should consult your own roadmap to determin your next turn. ebw]

Posted by: miguel at January 25, 2005 06:46 PMPolitical Strategy
Posted by: Jamal at January 25, 2005 09:19 PMBob Harris. For two reasons:
1) I came across this quote in the bible: And the Disciples bid Jesus stop and do Converse; and when He had finished tightening the laces of those shoes, they asked of Him, "Lord, we have followed you and ministered with you and dodged bricks with you and many of us have scabies and poison ivy from making in the bushes, which is why some of us join in with those in the towns who laugh at you. Forgive us, as it was cruel, but we could not help ourselves. We itch in your service, Lord. We are sure a Healing from You might not be out of order." And Jesus spoke, saying, And thy point is? Didst thou think this was to be a fun road trip? Didst thou believe it would be like unto the travels of Bob Harris, full of wonder and reflection and small cute animals? Be not like the fig tree, or the red state voter who thinks only on pancakes at iHop and bouncy-bouncy, or the LORD shall make of you a debris cloud. I'm just sayin'.
And the Disciples asked, "Lord, who is this Bob Harris that we might partake of the wonder and reflection?" And Jesus answered, saying, Hoo Boy, do I hafta talk to you people...
(Animal Acts Against The State, 593:2)
2) U.S.C., Title IX, Sec. 319, para. 2(a) states: "Under control of the Federal Small Administration (established by the Coal Tar and Hyrax Act of 1952, and the Pudu Cost-Benefit Realignment of 1964), small cute animals, humorous politically-motivated social commentary, and the experiental benefits of foreign travel shall be made available to the People through thus and various avenues of commerce and communicative arts as become manifest within the United States from time to time."
You gotta vote for this site. Really. No, really.
