Blog Posts: Today's top picks

Topics: Blogs of Interest

It's late friday afternoon and blog traffic is down a bit today. I usually experience daily increases of about 6% but not today. Traffic at Hyscience continues to increase daily but I am a little shy(actually quite a bit shy) of reaching Hugh Hewitt at Instapundit, the King of the blogosphere, who has over 118,000 hits per day.

In the meanwhile, until I crank back up later this evening, for you growing number of visitors (closing-in on the 2,000 mark) I have to get busy and crank out some more articles on my own or do it the lazy way and get some of the best posts of the day among what I consider to be some of the best bloggers in the blogosphere. It's a variation of what Dan at Digger's Realm (who is light-blogging today) does on occasion and what I've also seen done by Chad at inTheBullPen. Both of these blogs have been blogging much longer than I have and are among my favorite daily reads. So let's take a look at some of my other favorite daily reads and see what they are up to:

Cranky Neocon who I go to when I need to lighten-up my life with a little humor has a post that really rants on spammers and threatens them with molten enemas.

InTheBullPen posts on reporters sent tracking in Iraq, and they darn well deserve it.

My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has a great photo you need to see.

Wizbang has a fairly high quality video clip filmed by Bavarian tourists who were at Patong Beach in Thailand filming from a balcony as 3 waves coming in - evidence of just how powerful a tsunami is.

Jawa Report posts on the sicko teacher charged with having sex with little boys.

RightWingSparkle covers a litany of conservative topics with her usual good comment.

The Education Wonks have a write on a family that serves detention, together.

CodeBlueBlog, one of my favorite Medblogs, posts on the quackery going on at FSU with their intended chiropractic college. Before I'd waste my money on a chiropractor I'd soak a potato in Irish  whiskey for 32.5 minutes, then bury it in my back yard for 5 days. That will probably cure more illnesses then the backcrackers will. Some wise-guy might call this a placebo effect - and yep it works wonders. But it's free!

Black Triangle, another great clinpharm blog, posts on the Nigerian PM's secreatary with special minting skills.

A Physicists Perspective has some links of his own - a lazy day for him too but he's one of my favrorite daily reads.

California Yankee has a post on that crazy governors race in Washington State and the court challenges there.

Terrorism Unvieled posts on the Islamist's wanting to help in Indonesia, a perplexing and complicated issue that relates to matters that I frequently post on. A good read.

Evening Update: - don't miss the great Kerry picture - see him "Struggling to maintain significance"  in bashing a sitting wartime president in Iraq at clarityandresolve.

Notice that I haven't mentioned some of the big names like Powerline and LittleGreenFootballs that are also in my daily read list. They are good reads but I'm sure that they would agree that many smaller blogs have just as good content and often more of it. My daily reads include the big guys but my favorite reads are the smaller ones like myself(of course) and those mentioned here. I'll try to get around to putting up my daily reads list this weekend, it will make your blogging more fun.
