Posted by: Jesurgislac at February 11, 2005 01:52 PMI loved Bob Harris' travel journal - Bob's a great writer with an easy, evocative style that really brought the places and people he visited to life - but I'm going to have to go with Cheers & Jeers, by Bill in Portland, ME at Daily Kos. Cheers & Jeers is a daily visit for me, a bright light in dark times, and the community-within-a-community that's sprung up around it is truly amazing. Plus, Bill does scatlogical humor better than anyone. And he lives probably about fifteen minutes away from me. So, how could it be anyone else?

It's done a lot of good in its own way and he deserves an award.

The first day of posting for this story caught my attention while I was trying to find some explanation for the puzzling twist in the Presidential election results as compared to the polls leading up to the vote on November 2, and the exit poll data. I've been reading BradBlog ever since, and am intrigued to see where this trail leads.

And a note to all those who felt like they had to apologize for voting for C&J -- remember that amid all the silliness and snark, Bill in Portland Maine consistently manages to point us in the direction of stories that later turn out to be BIG, of stories that are important, of quotes we just HAVE to see the link to believe... We're not talking cotton candy, fokls -- this here's a Jumbo Sized Snickers Bar with layers upon layers of crunchy, sticky, chewy goodness.

I love Orcinus' series on pseudo-fascism but because I voted for him elsewhere, I'm gonna go with Eric's series on internment. What I hope he does one day is get them all in book form and call them "Fisking Michelle Malkin". I'd buy it --even after reading it all on the blog :)

Posted by: skeeball at February 15, 2005 12:57 AMThe Bradblog and his whistleblower series is all that has kept my head above water while the rest of America sinks (That's SINKS, not stinks).

Posted by: Zap at February 15, 2005 03:33 AMChoosing between Orcinus' "Pseudo-Fascism" and Jesus' General's "Heterosexually Yours" letters is tough, simply because they're of such radically different nature. And I love the "Heterosexually Yours" letters; second-funniest part of Jesus' General's site.
But my vote here has to go with Orcinus: Pseudo-Fascism. If I had to choose one series for all Americans to read, it'd have to be historical context over satirical fun-poking.
Even though I love satirical fun-poking.

Posted by: Mrs. Blessed at February 15, 2005 08:52 AMThe Brad Blog has not allowed the Curtiss issue to go away and deserves credit. Who knows how far this story can go? Ultimately, this and other stories are the only way I see we're going to have a chance of getting the maniacs out of power.

Posted by: Angry Girl at February 16, 2005 08:44 PMBrad BLog gets my vote. He has the best blog consistently covering the most important issue facing this former democracy known as the USA: massive voting fraud with rigged voting machines, and stolen presidential and congressional elections.

The Clint Curtis series demands this award. Rarely have I seen a more remarkable story developing before my own eyes. May his dog rest in peace.

Posted by: jenniebee at February 16, 2005 10:16 PMJesus' General, Letters.
Posted by: D. Sidhe at February 17, 2005 12:32 AMThis is so difficult...Cheers and Jeers or Jesus' General? Both are brilliant.
I have to go with C&J this time (woo hoo Bill!), since I've been reading the series for longer and marvel at the quality of his work every day.
But JC Christian, if I wasn't such a heathen Frenchie feminazi, I'd ask you out on a date, you manly man you! Patriotboy is my favorite new blog.

Posted by: Lea at February 18, 2005 08:22 AM"The Rise of Pseudo Fascism." Clarence Thomas, Malkin, Whistle Blowers, and yes, even the General are signposts on the road to where Orcinus shows us we're going. You might say we're already camping out in the 'burbs now. The serious scholarship and research we expect from Neiwert are here.

Ok, then it has to be BradBlog, but that's very democratic of you and not very republican.
