The Politburo Diktat‘s commisar asks, “Who’s Your Daddy?” I’m unable to limit myself to the one that he requests. My immediate BlogFather is GBfan of Spotted Horse, who pushed me into the posting side of the blogosphere after he invited me into The Wisconsin Sports Bar.
I do trace my roots a bit further than that. Going back a bit further in the “true” blogosphere, Owen at Boots and Sabers was instrumental in getting me to think about getting my own blog, and the Badger Blog Alliance get-together attended by Owen, Jib, Sean, Kevin, Mary Eileen and John McAdams got things rolling. There’s more blogs I’ve commented on before this little place opened up, just look over to the right (and I’m sure I’ve forgotten one or two; if so, please remind me because I’m forgetful :-)
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Free Republic, where I’ve been since January 2001. Over there, running into fine folks like the crow and LouD at the Bush rallies in 2000 got me in to the Robinsons’ playground.
