The Lies & Depraved Indifference of Republicans, by... me. That's right. I'm not ashamed.
EMBARRASSED, yeah.
Especially since Hunter's "Melting the Skin..." piece is destined and deserves to win this category.
But yeah, I'm voting for myself. Sue me, motherfuckers.
Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor | March 4, 2006 09:21 PM
I love this category because I get to read so many great posts. I vote for Body and Soul: The German Shepherd and the Salvadoran Pastor by Jeanne.
If I had a second vote (wishful thinking I know) I would vote for Hullabaloo: The Heart of the Democratic Party by Digby.

Posted by: Michael | March 4, 2006 10:34 PM
A ridiculously tough choice. If I had two votes, I'd have to give them to PZ's "The proper reverence due those who have gone before" and Matt Yglesias's "Patriotism and Nationalism." Given that I don't, and that PZ's post seems to be getting quite a few votes already, I'll give the nod to "Patriotism and Nationalism."

Creek Running North : Life and Death by Chris Clarke
Posted by: coturnix | March 4, 2006 11:04 PM
Reading all of these posts was a wonderful way to pass a Saturday night. There is some incredibly good stuff out there.
It's nearly impossible to pick just one, but ---
Digby, Genie in a Bottle, because of this paragraph which I've pretty much committed to memory now -
At this rather late stage in life, I'm realizing that the solid America I thought I knew may never have existed. Running very close, under the surface, was a frightened, somewhat hysterical culture that could lose its civilized moorings all at once. I had naively thought that there were some things that Americans would find unthinkable --- torture was one of them.

BobGeiger.com "I Know this Little Boy in New Orleans"
There is so much good stuff here and I can't claim I read it all, but this article is so simple, yet so poignant and evocative. You look at the little boy's face in the New Orleans Superdome, read Geiger's words and think "wow that could be my kid."
A wonderful piece of writing.
