This one is easier. Though all of these are good, I have a strong preference for The Panda's Thumb.

Blondesense for me. It grew by leaps and bounds in '04, and presented a nice blend of raging politics and cultural commentary.

Posted by: ScottM | February 11, 2005 01:23 PM
Obsidian Wings. And it should definitely get voted best blog for conservatives and liberals to talk about things without more than a gallon of blood being shed per day. (What? the only? Hush!)
I also think it deserves to be voted number one in the underrated category, but I would say that no matter how highly it was rated.
