The 2005 Koufax Awards: Best Group Blog

This year, we split Best Group and Best Blog Community, as it was clear that there is a big distinction between a site with hundreds of diaries and one with a set group of bloggers. In addition, the trend of mega-group blogs grew significantly, which also lend themselves more to the "community" designation than the traditional "group" one. Thus, some of the blogs which were finalists (and even the one which won) last year are no longer in this category, but now in the Best Blog Community, which I should be ready to post in a couple of hours, as I was compiling the two, for the most part, simultaneously.

Once again, voting will open later this week. Any comments/omissions, please put in the latest Koufax Open Thread.

Tough, tough. So much great writing. But I'm going with Nightbird's Fountain - great writing by a diverse group of people. But I have to say Blondsense is marvelous as well!

First Draft. Can't get through a day without a righteous rant from Athenae, or Holden's Obsession with the Gaggle. ScoutPrime now ably fills the slot formerly held by Pie. And Tena-- actually posting some more lately!

Intel Dump has military and legal debates on foreign policy, intelligence,presidential power
power. Some very good writers, and exchanges among people who disagree and sometimes get angry
but do not just sling insults. Very informative. It deserves more attention, at least a mention under Group Blog, in my opinion.

There are many I truly love--Pandagon, First Draft and AmericaBlog, but the one that has that rare blend of passion, wit, snark (two different things, folks), great prose sense and teaches me things
well beyond the cursory law lessons one gets from non-stop "Law & Order" episodes on TNT is firedoglake. A nice community, too.
