The Thinking Blog has started a Thinking Blogger Award, and it appears to be an exercise in how a meme is spread.
The way it works, someone is “awarded” this prestigious award, and it is the duty of the recipient to pass this award off to five of his or her favorite weblogs that make them think. They in turn pick five and pass it on to each of them, and on it goes — like a virus.
Well, TomCat decided that this little thing here really makes him think, because Equal Time Radio has been named on his weblog to receive this award!
(I’d like to thank my mother, my father, and the little girl down the street from me when I was thirteen…)
[before you work your dirty minds up into a lather, we married when we were 18 and are still married to this date]
Before we name our choices for the five weblogs that make us think here, I think that everyone here should list who they think the victims recipients should be.
So get busy.

Awesome!!!!

Didn’t TomCat already list White Noise Insanity?
Of course I don’t want to be beating my own drum, but I guess I should:
Liberaltopia?
After all, we have a few very fine and able writers over there who really make you think.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
That’s one, DJ. We need 4 (at least) more from you.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
It was both a privilege and a pleasure to pick you. You guys have a great blog. Forgive me for not contributing to your list, but I just wore out my thinking cap on this one.

I respectfully nominate http://washingtonwoman.blogspot.com/. Not just because Traci is our co host but because she puts her soul into what she writes and also sees the world through fair-minded glasses. But she doesn’t actually WEAR glasses, not even contacts I don’t think. Traci, do you wear contacts?

TomCat… :wub_tb:
March 24th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Amen Frank, to washingtonwoman’s inclusion on the list!

I guess the SPAM filter ate my list…
March 24th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
I believe the spam monster ate me.
March 24th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Probably because of the number of links you posted.
March 24th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
My link-heavy comment was grabbed, but I inspammed it.
March 24th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
*unspammed it
March 24th, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Not a problem DJ, I just figgered that, but wanted to provide the links so people didn’t have to google all them.
March 24th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
BTW not a blog but a very well written article by Scott Ritter that gives the historical background on the Sunni-Shiite split, and how it affects Iraq;
Scott Ritter: Calling Out Idiot America
definitely worth the read if you want a single article to explain what is happening which ther fooles in Washington are clueless about, and why their “plans” for Iraq fail completely.

Usually, the threshold for links in the comments is no more than two links.
…and yet you didn’t correct your comment by editing it? :lol_wp:
