MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
Okay, a little while ago, I said I wouldn't be endorsing many blogs in the 2005 Weblog Awards. And I won't.
But, there are some bloggers that I know better thank others. And some of those that I know better than others helps them stand out ... at least in my mind.
And one that stands out, not just because of my familiarity with the blogger, but because of the quality of the blog, is MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Miss Beth's blog is in the running in the Ecosystem category Best Of The Top 250 Blogs.
In that category are three that I read every day. But only one that I read more than once a day. And that's MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Beth, although I've never met her face-to-face, is one heckuva lady. Okay, she can get a little salty with the language, but also being ex-military, I understand her way of expressing her passion for her country, her family, and her sense of right and wrong.
I've never met Beth. But I'd like to. Heck, the wife and I would alter vacation plans to spend time around her.
Not only do I like her, I like her blog. A lot. When I first went to her blog, it was a different experience, and I didn't quite know what to think. But I was intrigued and went back. Again and again. And so should you.
UPDATE:
And the best of the lot got even better a couple of months back when MacStansbury joined the team. I was remiss in not mentioning his contribution to make a great blog even better. My apologies.
If you haven't yet voted in the Best Of The Top 250 Blogs, go vote for Beth and MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
I'm basil, and I endorse her blog.

Euphoric Reality
Euphoric Reality is in the running for Best Military Blog in the 2005 Weblog Awards. And if you thought the competition for Best New Blog was tough (it is) check out the military blog finists. Tough competition.
Now, how do you determine who to vote for in that bunch? Well, you go to each blog and read them. You'll see some that stand out.
There are four of them that I read every day. And one is Euphoric Reality. And I voted for them today. And if you haven't voted in that category today, go vote for them.
How did I arrive at them? Well, even though I read their blog for a while, when Kit and Heidi signed up for the Blog Interviews, I learned a lot more about them. And I like what I know.
Now, I'm not saying the others aren't great folks. But I don't know them as well as I feel I know Kit and Heidi. And that makes a difference.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that Euphoric Reality has endorsed this little blog for Best New Blog. So, you may be inclined to think of this endoresment as a returned favor. Well, think that if you like. I'm endorsing them not just because they run a great blog, but because I know them better, and like what I know. That makes a difference. You see, not only did I get to know them better, they got to know me better too. And endorsed us anyway.
Will we be endorsing other blogs in the voting in other categories? Maybe. Maybe not. It's a hard thing to publicly say vote for one blog and not another. But in this instance, because of my familiarity with the bloggers, I can do that. Kit and Heidi are worthy of your vote.
