Gobble gobble gobble what? Thank you, today.com
Anyone else eat too much already? I thought that was the point of today…
On this thanksgiving, I’d like to give thanks especially to you, today.com. Since joining this site a few months ago I’ve gotten the chance to talk to all sorts of people with a broad array of views on the political spectrum. We’ve debated all sorts of topics, sometimes heatedly, but always in good spirit. Most of all though, it’s pushed myself to be more aware and more involved with what’s going on in our world. The blogosphere is a huge part of the future of media, and it’s a pleasure logging on here with all of you guys.
I love reading all of the blogs on here, whether they agree with me or not, but there are a few people here that make my time here an absolute pleasure. These are the blogs that I look forward to the most when I log on.
http://waxingpoetically.today.com/ - Maybe I’m just bias because Mikey was the first guy to comment on my blog, but whatever. Mikey writes a couple blogs on today.com and this one is my favorite. Each and every post on here Mikey respectfully poses a cultural question that makes you think. Wax proudly Mikey, what you do is awesome.
http://therelevantrhino.today.com/ - Threedegrees, I probably don’t even need to say anything about this guy- I guarantee he’s said it on your blog. The relevant rhino posts daily here and is a member of a lot of other sites as well. Common sense with an attitude, his blog is fricking awesome. If I was more motivated I’d do one of those kick-ass photoshops of a rhino beating the crap out of an elephant, but I’m not - you can picture it though right three?
(editors note: So I did a youtube search to find a video of a rhino beating the crap out of an elephant and then found this - Ha not quite what I was looking for…*Possibly not safe for work*)
http://polianiac.today.com/ - The banner on the site says it all, “You do not have to agree with me; just support your argument!” KHLindsey is one of the more skilled writers on today.com and her blog is always an interesting read. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I suggest you do, and go back for more.
http://greennotmean.today.com/ - Yanjiyaren also has a couple blogs here at today.com. This one is a very educational blog dedicated to green solutions in our world. Go get some.
http://whatisupwithpolitics.today.com/ - Birdie runs a couple blogs here too and is also an active commenter. This blog focuses on an array of political subjects, but always offers thoughtful insight. Drop on by and say hey.
http://electricguitar.today.com/ - Getting off of the political spectrum, for anyone who plays guitar or is trying to learn this blog rocks. Incredibly informative to players of all skill levels, and for me a daily read.
So there it is, it’s a shorter list than what I wanted to do (so sorry if I didn’t get to you), but round two of turkey-madness is about to commence, and I’ve got some more blow-out football madness to watch. Have a good one you all,
Happy thanksgiving!
Great. Now I feel like an ass for not bestowing an award to you. If it helps, you’re on my blogroll on the Daily Kos…
I’m also planning on making the “Malties” (copyright 2008 RR Inc.) a quadrennial thing.
Oh, and that video is just freakin’ wrong.
No worries man, you got me on the last one, spread the love around. This was my first of this type of thing, so I had to get you in there.
I actually didn’t even see your post til after mine, but I noticed we both named two of the same blogs.
All I could think about with that video (other than DAMN) was the symbolism …Rhino getting f’d by the GOP ;)
Big ::hugs:: for the blog love :)
ha oh after I saw it I had to put it up there…
