(last call - promoted by jmelli)

The New Jersey blogosphere is growing and full of talent. We'd like to recognize that talent by awarding the highly prestigous Screaming Carrot Award to the finest progressive Garden State political blog.

To that end, we'd like you to nominate your favorite NJ blogs in the comments below. You can nominate as many blogs as you want, including your own. You might want to point to one or two particularly good posts. Nominated blogs should deal with New Jersey politics, though not necessarily exclusively. Just because the author of a blog is from NJ does not qualify it as a "NJ blog".

We'll accept nominations through December 31st, and then we'll put them up for a vote.

UPDATE: Nominations so far...

Blanton's and Ashton's

The Center of NJ Life

Tammany on the Hudson

Xpatriated Texan

Since everyone knows I am shy (0.00 / 0)

I'll nominate my own blogs

Xpatriated Texan - best posts
Reality in Abortion

When the Left Follows the Right

Who Pays for Your Food?

Dying and Living Consistently

A Tragedy, A Lack of Leadership

Also Tammany on the Hudson, which (thankfully) doesn't lend itself to singling out posts, but rather has to be taken as a whole in the chronicling of Hudson County corruption.

I have other blogs, but they are not about NJ, so I'll not list them.

To hell with what she wants, let's make Rosi Efthim the next DSC chair.

Always the bridesmaid . . . (0.00 / 0)

Since nobody's going to stand up for The Opinion Mill, I'll just have to do it myself.

Amen to all of the above . .. (0.00 / 0)

And let me add The Rix Mix and Confessions of a Jersey Goddess, for demonstrating that the personal is the political and vice versa.

Two nominations (for a start) (0.00 / 0)

I read The Opinion Mill every day, not least of all for the quotes up top. Appreciates Bob Dylan too without being cultish.

http://thecontrarian.org/ often knows more than he can say on current events, but he also enjoys Jersey political history: http://thecontrarian.org/?p=318 is but one example of many over the past year. His occasional posts on railroads & local scenery are nonpareil.

Screaming Carrot Awards (0.00 / 0)

I would like to jump on The Opinion Mill bandwagon. The best writing of them all, as far as I'm concerned.

A humble suggestion... (0.00 / 0)

Hey, what about me?
You know, me!
me me me me me!

Ahem

Okay, I'm better now.

I'd like to nominate the occasionally interesting, mildly diverting Mapleberry Blog.

I nominate The Center of NJ Life (0.00 / 0)

Okay, full disclosure here: I am married to Sharon GR. That said, this nomination isn't just me being a shill.

If you read the Center of NJ Life, you'll see great progressive coverage of important NJ issues, and a willingness to engage those on both sides in intelligent debate.
