Although he confuses me with some obscure early 20th century poet, I shall nevertheless link Tiger’s review of the top blogs on the Ecosystem. My summary of his summary:
- InstaPundit: A bunch of links by a lazy law prof with no content or comments section. He sucks but he’s been doing it a long time so everyone links him.
- Daily Kos: Confusing, dry, and left-leaning. But has comments section.
- Eshaton: Well written, left-leaning, has comments section. Doesn’t suck.
- Volokh: Good but boring. No comments section. Kinda sucks.
- Sullivan: No obvious ideology but very homosexual. No comments section. Doesn’t really suck.
- Lileks: Not really a blog. No comments section. Good writing, though.
- Joshua Marshall: Leftie, well written, no comments section.
- LGF: Lots of stuff plus allows comments.
- USS Clueless: Long, possibly Trekkie. Comments enabled. Doesn’t suck, except too long to actually read.
- CalPundit: Well written, has cat pics, comments enabled.
All sites authored by white males.
Following Tiger’s lead, Kevin Aylward rates the bottom five sites on the Ecosystem. My summary:
There’s a reason no one has linked to them! Lots of Aussies, too.
Go read the originals for an expanded analysis.

About James Joyner
Obscure 20th century poet? You mean ‘one of the most well-known and respected novelists of all time’ surely? You shoudl be honoured. Not that I’ve read his stuff like.
Tiger failed to notice the utter, all-pervasive racist horribleness of LGF, which dissapointed me.

It would be so easy to rip that comment to shreds but for the sake of civility on Mr. Joyce’s board I shall pass.
I would simply as the poster to perhaps consider…. Naw- I’ll even give that a pass.

I do all the writing and you get all the comments. See what happens when you are an obscure early 20th Centruy poet?

I don’t know why, but after I typed “James Joy” the “ce” just fell right into place. I have changed it to remove the stigma that you are the reincarnation of an obscure early 20th century poet.

Although I did not go into that, the last statement made in your take of my review of Sullivan may not be literally true. I have no first, second, or other hand knowledge about such, just this sneaking intuition that such statement is likely incorrect.

LGF has some good links, but the comments are troll city. Does anyone actually read through all of them?!
Instapundit is an unstoppable link-bot. His comments are usually rather banal however. Quantity over quality I guess.
Den Beste is often rather insightful, but you need to set aside a bit of time to get through them.
My current favorite blog is Reason’s Hit and Run. I guess that’s a blog of sorts.

What am I to do with all of this flattery?
Well, didn’t they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Well it does seem that my reviewing of blogs is catching on. So impressed by my efforts in reviewing the Top 10 blogs in the Blogoshere Ecosystem, Kevin Aylward…
