Great posts - might have chosen a different one for each of you myself, especially considering the consistent high quality of your handiwork over these past several months, but your personal favorites won't get any arguments to the contrary from me. You all have done well - Steven would be proud of each of you. I know I am...
Excellent posts, everyone. As the stupidity increases this year leading up to the Flurry of E-Ballot Box Stuffing (pardon me, the election) I look forward to finding a refuge here and immersing myself in fine writing.
"Do You Understand Where You Are", is one of those iconic posts that define the blogosphere, IMO, along with Al Gore and the Alpha Girls and Preznit Giv Me Turkee.
Great posts indeed. While good writing can be found in Blogoland, great writing is much harder to come by and great writing with personal insight is what distingushes GNB from just about everyone else. Thank you and a happy New Year to all.
These were all wonderful posts and I am struck in revisiting them that they all have a common theme - they are about the intersection of the personal and the political, and that understanding and willingness to be open about the personal is what makes you all such great, compelling reads.
Thank you all very much. I'm a pretty gloomy person by nature, and you guys really help cheer me up and keep me moving.
Sara's essay brought tears to my eyes. My own dad was a city boy and a tool grinder in a factory, but he was that kind of old school guy; and, boy, would this one-legged WWII vet have despised Bush.
