Slowplay’s Top 40 Blogs

In response to John Hawkins’ Top 40, I have compiled the way I see the blogoshpere at this time. It’s amazing how your favorites changes over time and how many great blogs there are.

We don’t have any ad deals with anyone (heck, we don’t even have ads), so no blogs were excluded, but had to exclude some sites that were close to, but not really blogs.

Here’s the way I see it:

40. The Northerner
39. Up for Anything
38. Michael The Archangel
37. Blue Eyed Infidel
36. Disintegrator
35. Chrenkoff
34. INDC Journal
33. Anti-idiotarian Rottweiller
32. Right-Thinking from the Left Coast
31. Jihad Watch
30. One Hand Clapping
29. Davids Medienkritik
28. Backcountry Conservative
27. Expat Yank
26. The Diplomad
25. California Yankee
24. Political Junkie
23. The Political Teen
22. Blogs for Bush
21. Protein Wisdom
20. ScrappleFace
19. Captain’s Quarters
18. Outside the Beltway
17. In the Bullpen
16. Brad Wardell
15. Say Anything
14. HundredPercenter Newswires
13. Little Green Footballs
12. Instapundit
11. Michelle Malkin
10. The Dead Pool
9. La Shawn Barber’s Corner
8. The Media Drop
7. Dummocrats
6. Young Pundit
5. Right Wing News
4. Ace of Spades HQ
3. Alarming News
2. Powerline
1. Wizbang

Easy to pick the blogs, but very hard to rate them. This list is completely different than what I would have made 3 months ago and I’m sure one 3 months from now will have some shakeups, too.

Update: Expat Yank has made his acceptance speech.

Have you made yours?

  1. Well, wow! I’m so happy that TMD has made your list - very exciting. What to say! When does that music come in telling me to leave the stage?

    No really, thanks for including me on this list, it’s pretty cool. I enjoy reading Slowplay, and it’s great to see that the feeling is mutual.

  3. I’ll get you for this… if it’s the last thing I do!

  4. To further clarify, these are ranked in reverse order of the likelihood that I would sell the site owner’s credit card number if I had it.

  3. Top 40
    Being on anyone’s list of Top 40 Blogs would surprise me - being included in the above company is far more than I deserve, and I’m grateful that Slowplay thinks so highly of Disintegrator.

  4. Blogosphere
    If it wasn’t for Young Pundit - I wouldn’t have seen these updated blogs. Slowplay and Hundred Percenter have rated The Political Teen in their top 40 & 10 (respectivly). I would like to thank them and I feel bad…
