Unclaimed Territory by Glenn Greenwald - Interesting, very informative, clear & precise

Wolcott - he does things with words that most Republicans would probably want outlawed because they're too sensual and stimulating...

He has such a way with words that it often seems like he is writing poetry!

Very tough. Greenwald, Digby, or redhedd? They all deserve a vote. But on the sheer quantity of great posts and the ultimate snark I have to go with digby.

I never miss Digby. At least once every two weeks, and usually more frequently, he sums up everything I want to say, and says it better than I.

I read Suburban Guerrilla first. There are loads of blogs that I read, and some days I just float through bloggia for downright shameful chunks of time, but I always check back in at Susie's.

Wolcott. I'm not sure this is fair -- I am grateful to and admire the people who write frequent, passionate, explanatory prose, but when Wolcott's on, he delivers the casual insult that I can only dream about.

Lindsay at Majikthise - hands down - makes reading good stuff easy. Loved the Dennett thread in particular.

double_curve.gif

Digby combines outrage with sarcasm and sagacity, he uses words as a surgeon wields the scalpel, or as SEALS use HE, depending on the need.

But mostly, he thinks with an amazing clarity that sickens me with the ease it appears on his blog, just disgusts me with him saying things better than I could or do.

But that's okay, I'm alright with it, so long as he doesn't bugger off like Billmon or The Horse did.

Twisty Faster at I Blame the Patriarchy

Nails it, every time out, and this while on chemo.

Her chosen subject interests me, but this
writer could handle any subject and reduce
it to its core in a couple of succinct,
bulls-eye (heh) paragraphs.

A writer's writer, pure and simple. A journeywoman
who takes the stone and finds the form.

Few can rippingly vent the spleen or lovingly convey the sweetness of a toddler's smile as well
(or within the same post, for that matter) as Drifty. With his verbal toolbox, he can
effortlessly carve a rough, bloody "D" in a target's argument or build a prose-powered
super-collider that generates a finely-targeted death-ray to winger bullsh*t.

An inspiration. :)

double_curve.gif

Chris Clarke, CRN.

double_curve.gif

Definitely Suburban Guerrilla. She gets to the point using the fewest (but punchiest) words of any blogger. Somehow with all the tragedy in the news, she keeps you smiling at the ridiculousness of it all. And God knows, we need to keep smiling through the tears.

Chris Clarke, Creek Running North

Berube deserves it too, remarkable year on his blog,
oh hell, they all deserve it, but Berube has
a couple of books coming out, so I'll make it up
by buying them for all my friends, and anyway, Chris
is practically a fixture of Berube's blog, too.

James Wolcott

Digby. I love Wolcott, but he's a true pro who has a great forum every month in Vanity Fair. Digby brings it every day. If they ever ask anyone from blogtopia who should represent blue-state america on the Wapo online, I say Digby's the one.

Michael Berube Online gets my vote (w/apologies to Reddhead, Digby, and Glenn Greenwald, all wonderful in their own way) - however, Michael, if you had a special font for satire, it would help me.

Best Writing: Susie Madrak, Suburban Guerrilla

Suz shows a compassionate heart,
something this old world needs desperately.
From the bottom of mine, thanks for all you give Suz.

Susan is a citizen's best friend-current material, thoughtful, passionate, reflective. She also is a helluva good read and has a sharp sense of humor, while remaining a true soul with her personal stuff-she lets it all hang out!

Tough. Lindsay Beyerstein was so good last year. But she got a real job and then went off to NOLA. No, wait, that was some GOOD writing! Especially the prison stuff.

Digby at Hullabaloo, because the hardest thing to do is write so clearly that everyone who reads it feels like you have read their minds and put their own thoughts into words.

Hard to chose between Digby and Wolcott, but on balance, I think my vote goes to Wolcott, though it's a hard choice to make.

Just good to see that there is such a high quality among ALL the posters here, and that's cause for celebration in itself.

double_curve.gif

Wolcott

double_curve.gif

I'll pick Digby over Wolcott. It is sort of like picking John Henry over the steam engine (Wolcott is a good writing machine!), and I hope it does not hurt Digby.
