Important question from the Donut Team - your favorite blog sites
Submitted by CarolNYC on May 24, 2006 - 6:45am.

We're getting closer and closer to the launch of the new CCN and would like some input as to which blogs to include on the blog roll so that it accurately reflects the blogs that this community likes and is reading.
Please list here your favorite blog sites with titles and links.
Thanks much!

....I get back from work, I'll post them then.

I will add just a few others that I like:
Baghdad Burning (riverbend's blog from Iraq)
It's not exactly a blog, but I often think of it as one - Energybulletin.net (a daily haunt for me, anyway)
Gristmill Blog (environmental)
RealClimate.org (which the science team has introduced me to)
Thanks for askin'!

http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=78700EXCERPT:Tomdispatch: Tell me something about your daily life at the magazine. I'm sure you're understaffed, under-everythinged. But what's it like to spend a day as the Nation's editor and publisher, beginning to end? Katrina vanden Heuvel: I begin the day by reading from three to five papers. By then I'm already so agitated… [She laughs.] Anyway, I start with the Washington Post, then I do the New York Times, then parts of the Financial Times or the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian. Then I look at the Web. I'll read Tompaine, Commondreams, Romenesko, Tomdispatch, Juan Cole, Alternet, the Huffington Post, James Wolcott's blog, Jay Rosen's PressThink, sometimes Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo or the Daily Kos. Just kind of absorbing as much as I can. Then the trick is to be an editor who's outraged by what's going on, but remains humane and sane as a watchdog.

but if you're tallying which ones are popular, I vote for Kos and HuffPost.

It's the dccc blog.

Obviously DKos and we should link to Armando's CrossedSwords shouldn't we? http://www.swordscrossed.org/
Washington Note (Clemmons) seems to be one people like to read.

Most of my favs were covered, Carol. But I'd like to suggest:
Great listings for writing to congress, the adm and the media.
On climate change
http://realclimate.org/
On Energy Issues
Sustainability

Randi Rhodes board:
The Randi Rhodes Show > Message Forums
Mike Malloy board:
Mike Malloy Forum Index
Under the "Politics Free-for-all" there is a "sticky" called MMTF Link File, which has a fairly comprehensive list of "useful URLs of a liberal or progressive nature." MMTF Link File
I would also encourage getting to know bloggers in your state through DU's State Boards
Home » Discuss » State & Country Forums
DFA also has a good board,
Blog for America
and there are many local DFA groups you can join - missing are the states of
- Arkansas
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
So start a group if you are in one of these states!
And, to keep up with Election Fraud and other related stories
The Brad Blog
NOTE: I would separate news site from message boards. If there's a place to add comments to a story it qualifies as a message board.

If so, I'll fix your other post to unwiden the blog
I can't even edit it. What can I do? I apologize everybody. I didn't look before I pasted.
Please forgive me. Can't the admin delete it?


I have Word versions of the BeliefNet interview with Clark, along with the follow-up op-ed by the interviewer.

George Santayana: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
There are so many wonderful blogs and sites. The list is incredible.
I was wondering if it will be possible to have topical blogrolls associated with each series blog focus. For example, when you go to the "Real Science" series page, the relevant energy, global warming, stem cell and other appropriate sites would be listed. From the Troops and Vets page, the related vets sites such as those suggested by Testvet. From the Faith and Politics page, links to sites like Interfaiith Alliance and Sojourners. From the Economics page, appropriate key links. And so forth. . .

General Wes Clark * * * * 4 Stars Over Texas
...one that we could sure make use of (and one that would also allow more room for all of these great suggestions! ;-))

Oh, that's a great idea...I'll have to bring that up and see if the tech folks can make that work...
Thanks...the other Carol :)

OK, this can be done...If the teams want to submit blogs that would pertain to their series, that would be great....
Or if anyone posting knows blogs that would fit into the specific categories, please post them...
Thanks!!!
Carol - I can pull them from here and set them up in a table/worksheet that can be used to group them - if you think that would help. Team members can review offline, and then the resulting lists can be posted for confirmation.

And I'm sure our other team members can too (I think most of the following links are mentioned above, but I'll put some that specifically relate to our blog in this subthread). And these are not all just blogs, but, nevertheless, they are all pertinent "links":
http://environment.yale.edu/climate (Yale's Project on Climate Change)
http://www.grist.org/ (Grist Magazine)
http://www.ucsusa.org/ (Union of Concerned Scientists)
http://www.seedmagazine.com/ (Seed Magazine)
http://darksyde.dailykos.com/ (Darksyde's blog from Daily Kos - Darksyde leads the "science Fridays" there)
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/show.html (Dr. Jeff Master's weather/climate blog)
Pat Lang's Sic Semper Tyrannis http://turcopolier.typepad.com/
Larry Johnson's No Quarter http://noquarter.typepad.com/my_weblog/
Orcinus http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/
Most of my other faves are listed previously.
" Repetion does not transform a lie into a truth." FDR
The first two regard intelligence and security. I've seena few fellow Clarkies there. " Repetion does not transform a lie into a truth." FDR

and will there be an overlap like there was when we came here to learn how to use it? Lots of us had to ask questions on the old version so we could get adjusted to using this one.
As soon as we know more definitively (other than "soon") I will post an entry to get you ready - myself or some other Donut!
That post should be in a few days so be on the lookout for it and I/ we will try to prepare you for what's ahead and when and all the details, as they come available. It won't hurt-- promise! Well, it might sting just a little...
Look for the post with some Donut themed title on it-- ;P

Yep, but I think "soon" really means soon at this point...
It will be different...but it will be good.

I've heard that the admins are working OT to prep a new feature here. So, the the Science blog will be a little bit delayed. Besides, in light of all the anger over the gas prices,... folks are still crowding the highways,.. bad but not unreasonable for this weekend.
with a list of bloglinks several pages long and as result, just ignored them. Is there any way to limit the number of links or have them rotate so the number isn't quite so intimidating? I'm not so sure if it's possible to separate the wheat from the chaff, but I hope something can be done along those lines.
Why?

Thanks for all of the suggestions...and Carol, thanks for the chart.
As far as the length of the blog roll goes, I don't know how long it will be. The final determination as to what goes on the roll or not will be made by WesPAC. We are just compiling the list of suggestions.
I do like the links per series page idea though.....That was a good one Carol.

General Wesley Clark on Science
Category: UpdatesI must admit, I was starting to worry about this upcoming Yearly Kos science panel in Vegas. In the city that never sleeps, the event was scheduled for 8 am (!)--the one time, if ever, when people visiting Vegas probably do sleep. I had a suspicion that nobody would even attend.
Well, scratch that: We just learned that General Wesley Clark is actually going to be joining the panel. This is awesome in myriad ways, not the least of them being that Clark has become very outspoken about climate change...
