Look, for pure blogitude, and I'm talking maximum horse, er, dogpower, noone comes close to TheTalkingDog.Com. I mean really people, where else can I post my plans for world domination? It's the blog of public record for prospective world conquerors, like the Bush Family.

Time I got my butt in gear and made a few nominations. I'll skip the heaviest categories, since I'm pretty sure no one deserving will be overlooked.

This is totally shameless self-promotion, but it is on behalf of my compadres, not me alone. So it does not count as narcissism points. I am proud of my community!

Best Blog Community: The Democracy Cell Project (http://www.democracycellproject.net)

Best Writing: Casey Morris of The Democracy Cell Project

Most Humorous: Ask Polly Sigh (The Democracy Cell Project) http://www.democracycellproject.net/blog/archives/ask_polly_sigh/index.html

Single Issue: The Tao of Politics, Matthew Carnicelli (The Democracy Cell Project)http://www.democracycellproject.net/blog/archives/the_tao_of_politics/index.html

Justification: The DCP is made up of veterans of the John Kerry Blog. Most of the Crew were moderators on that Blog, and as such, they managed the discussions, kept the threads clear of vitriol, and answered the hard questions about John Kerry and John Edwards. They noticed the lies and misinformation that the mainstream media passed along, and how much of the blogosphere picked up on msm negative memes and repeated those memes as truth.

After the election was over, the community decided to keep fighting for the truth, and we wanted to keep the voices that had begun to speak truth to power growing and evolving. There are about 15 people who write thread headers, and about 50-60 regular posters on the threads.

The DCP is not partisan or candidate-driven any more. What has emerged is a mature group of witty, savvy, and informed writers. And rather than staying inside a bubble, the DCP encourages and rewards those who take truth to the streets, in actions.

Check it out!

Be the Media. Take it to the people.

Most humorous blog: The Rude Pundit

Most Humorous: Bobby Lightfoot

Best Series: Obsidian Wings on Habeas Corpus

Best Blogger: Hilzoy (Obsidian Wings), Digby (Hullabaloo)

I second Democracy Cell Project's nomination as the best blog community.

It is through DCP that I have found ideas for keeping myself active, even though I find myself in a very conservative community in real life. DCP has brought me in touch with many wonderful activists from around the nation and the world, and was the impetus for me joining the pro-peace activities of September 24th.

Ok- I third the nomination of the DCP as best blog.
The posts on the blog are all intelligently written, with their
facts well documented.
And I post there too, so I know all that :-)

Democracy cell project is my choice as well. I have visited the sites mentioned above, but none
is able to capture the activist aura that the DCP provides. The Five Minutes a Day suggestions
on the home page are simple suggestions for action that anybody can do. The blog postings are
educational, well written and thoroughly documented. Visitors are treated with respect when they present valid points for discussion. The forum is loaded with information that can be applied by anybody who
wants to empower themselves and their community. To me the Democracy Cell Project embodies
what its name implies, a democratic forum for intelligent conversation and information.

If you haven't visited the Democracy Cell Project, give it a try. http://www.democracycellproject.net
