Blogiversary Top 20 Blasts from Past, Part 2
This is the second part of a four-part blogiversary series of my favorite posts of the past year:
- July 17 — New York Times Running Out? (a recent history of the decline of The Times that got a surprising amount of blogospheric attention)
- July 24 — Democrat Congressional Candidate and Bush Critic Uses Presidential Video Footage, Pretends to Support the Iraq War (the original exposure of Paul Hackett’s pretend-to-support-Bush video, and comparing it with some things he had already said about the president, even before his infamous “chickenhawk” and “SOB” quotes in the national press)
- August 4 — 2nd District (OH) Congressional Election: Local Center-Right Blogs Have Earned a Victory Lap (notes the contributions of many of those who would become part of the S.O.B. Alliance to Jean Schmidt’s holdoff of Paul Hackett in the August 2 special election in Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District, and tells the story of how Rush Limbaugh learned of Hackett’s duplicitous video attempts to portray himself as a Bush supporter when he was, and is, anything but that)
- August 10 — What’s Happening to the Real People Involved in the Kelo Eminent Domain Case (first post on the outrages happening on the ground in New London, CT as a result of the Supreme Court’s eminent domain ruling)
- September 11 — I Do Not (and Will Not) Yahoo! (reaction to the jailing of a Chinese dissident journalist with Yahoo!’s help; ultimately led to the Internet Wall of Shame)
