No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Egg’s mandatory reads

by @ 11:29 on March 25, 2008. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Since John Hawkins asked nicely, I may as well share my “must reads, even if hung over, sicker than a dog, and have but 5 minutes to catch up on the reading” blogs, in no particular order. For those I don’t list; don’t fret. I usually am not hung over, sicker than a dog, or short of time, so I’m reading all of those blogs that are on my bloated roll to your right:

Boots and Sabers – Owen is one of the elders of the Cheddarsphere. He and Jed have one of the most-active comment sections around; in fact, that’s where I really got introduced to the blogosphere.

DUmmie FUnnies – Let me put it this way; PJ-Comix and sometime contributor and parody writer extraordinaire Charles Henrickson got robbed in last year’s Weblog Awards. I usually catch this over on Free Republic, where most of the follow-on comments happen.

Mary Katharine Ham at TownHall – What can I say? HamNations, insightful commentary; in short, everything a blogger can aspire for. The bonus; she is as nice as can be.

RealDebateWisconsin – Fred has become a good friend. The establishment in Racine fears him.

Hot Air – If you need first-rate sarcasm (as opposed to the bulk-rate my best is), Allahpundit is your man. He delivers it all, including video everybody else misses (I’ve called him the blogosphere’s DVR more than once). Throw in Ed Morrissey, a few appearances here and there by the boss (Michelle Malkin), and the three-person site is better than most overloaded staffs around.

Sykes Writes – Charlie Sykes is the Blogfather of the Cheddarsphere. It helps he has a 50,000-watt microphone.

Sister Toldjah – Take out the video, add in love of the NFL, and see the summary for MKH.

Badger Blogger – Patrick is a relentless news hound whose header tag (“Covering Wisconsin the way the media won’t. Covering the media, the way they fear!”) rings true.

Ace of Spades HQ – I said it before, I’ll probably say it again; we morons are legion. Besides, what’s a run through the blogosphere without a few expletives?

The Campaign Spot – Jim Geraghty is a one-man political blogging machine. ‘Nuff said.

Blackfive – Even if it were just Uncle Jimbo there, I would be reading it every day. Matt (Blackfive Actual), Deebow, Laughing Wolf, and the rest just make it that much more compelling.

Michelle Malkin – There is a reason why she is a “who’s who”. She’s THAT GOOD.

Tom McMahon and 4-Block World – If you’re looking for it, Tom probably has it.

The American Mind – Sean Hackbarth is one of the originals, going all the way back to 1999.

The Asian Badger – Pilot, venture capitalist, man of adventure; men want to be him, women want to be with him.

TheWisconsinSportsBar – Yes, I’m a contributor to The Bar, but I don’t quite consider it self-promotion because I’m far from the best writer there, even on my supposed sport of expertise (NFL football). There are some serious baseball sharks there, and Badger hockey gets some well-deserved love.

It’s not quite John’s 40, but like I said, I’m usually not reduced to 5 minutes of reading while sick and hung over, so I’m reading a lot more than just this.
