There’s a fascinating variety of blogs in this year’s finalists. Check ‘em out! You may find a new favorite blog.
UPDATE (James Joyner): Some excellent competition, albeit some odd pairings. Not only does InstaPundit get geometrically more traffic than OTB but the current runaway leader is a mommy blog of which I’d never before heard.
About the Author: Over the years Dave Schuler has worked as a martial arts instructor, a handyman, a musician, a cook, and a translator. He's owned his own company for the last thirty years and has a post-graduate degree in his field. He comes from a family of politicians, teachers, and vaudeville entertainers. All-in-all a pretty good preparation for blogging.
He has contributed to OTB since November 2006 but mostly writes at his own blog, The Glittering Eye.
- OTB Latenight – r.e.m.
- Krugman on the Debt and Deficits
- A Question About Bonuses and Bailouts
- Republican Purity and Conservatism
- SNL Obama China Skit
- Journalistic Ethics and Illegally Acquired Documents
- National Debt Hysteria?
- Educating Illegal Immigrants
- Caption Contest
- Nathalie Blanchard Facebook Smile Leaves Her Depressed
Congrats, Dave: Two nominations!
"Major Blogs" is a wide swath, indeed, if OTB is in there with InstaPundit and at least three blogs I've never heard of.
More amusing: c jane enjoy it, of which I'd never previously heard, is running away with it.
My impression of the finalists this year is that they're a little more representative of the true range of the blogosphere than in prior years. Fewer political blogs, more from the rest of the blogosphere.
