Arms Control Wonk

Jeffrey Lewis and Paul Kerr have defined what it is to produce an expert blog. Whether correcting the record on Iran's nuclear program, contributing to the head of steam that almost stopped the Bolton nomination by looking at the now-ambassador's real record of service, tripping up the State Department on India sanctions, or reminding us how funny such serious matters can actually be, Arms Control Wonk's model will inspire how experts in other fields approach blogging long into the future. Add the sweet Hexive re-design, and it even looks pretty. Way to go, fellas - while geography may be separating you, it's best for us all if you keep it up.

I am a huge fan and cast my vote for Confined Space, because Jordan has so thoroughly documented the deliberate dismantlement of worker protections under the Bush administration.

When those miners were trapped in West Virginia, I knew where to turn for the truth: Confined Space.

Because Jordan has never forgotten the plight of manual laborers, factory workers and the other blue-collar citizens treated as disposable in Bush's America, he is my hero.

double_curve.gif

I vote for the Arms Control Wonk.

I'd go farther even than Michael Roston in saying that the Arms Control Wonk blog shows us all what kind of resource the internet can be as we carry out necessary acts of intellectual self-defense.

No longer solely dependent on the over-simplified and often misleading material we find in our daily newspapers, we can turn to expert blogs like the ACW for a reality check on the 'hype' in which the MSM trades.

I don't think we've yet appreciated how imporant such alternative views will be as the global community addresses the next series of serious challenges.

Finally: Full Disclosure.

When I first googled across the ACW blog, I was surprised to learn people like Paul and Jeff were blogging about such 'abstruse' matters as missile defence. And doing it in such a well-informed and witty manner!

Speaking as a total non-expert and ordinary citizen, I have to say that their example helped lead me to start blogging about an issue I care about.

If there's a higher form of praise, I'd offer it.

double_curve.gif

This is a category in which I am not an expert. Judging from the enthusiasm of the Pharyngula voters, I'm going to have to check that blog in the future. But for now I have to go with the one I know and love for its passion, its politics, and its sense of community --

Effect Measure. Even in this fine company, it stands out for its combination of deep knowledge, equally deep political understanding, the ability to communicate to non-specialists and - most impressively - to get through to non-adherents (politically). Which is to say it truly educates, in all the best senses. And on matters that may soon determine whether we're around to fight any of our other battles.

I have to vote for Firedoglake.

double_curve.gif

firedoglake - love the analysis and writing, but can't resist
the catty attitude!!! Their legal coverage, particularly
Traitorgate, is really wonderful, particularly if you don't
happen to be an attorney.

Firedoglake rocks.....Reddhedd, former prosecutor and Jane, who knows about criminal psychology (Natural Born Killers, Killer Instinct), perfect to cover/uncover all the ongoing criminal conspiracies in D.C.

very difficult to decide,some outstanding blogs in this category, although i'm not so sure the field of expertise is supposed to be for some of them (not an insult, some of my favorites).

Definitely Effect Measure. In a country where public health is treated like a second class citizen, we need Effect Measure to constantly remind us of its value.
