Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Second rate reporter says what?

It’s that time of year again…

It’s time once again to continue a tradition started by Jon Swift/Al Weisel, the “Best Posts of the Year, Chosen by the Bloggers Themselves.” Jon/Al left behind some wonderful satire, but was also a nice guy and a strong supporter of small blogs. (Here are Jon/Al’s massive 2007 and 2008 editions. Our smaller revivals from 2010 through 2018 can be found here.)

If you’d like to participate, just reply to this e-mail or write to me (Batocchio9 AT yahoo DOT com) with your best post of the year before 12/25:

Blog Name
Title of Post
Link
Author of Post
Brief Description/Pitch of the Post (1–2 sentences)

(If it’s not a reply, adding “best post” in the subject line would also help.)

To modify Jon Swift’s 2008 solicitation:

I would be very honored if you would participate and send me a link to what you think was your best post of [2019], along with a short description of it.  Please make the hard choice and send me only one link.  I would like to post it before the end of the year, so if you could get it to me before Christmas, I would really appreciate it.

One submission per blog, please, otherwise things can get messy. Group bloggers can pick a piece among themselves, but are also welcome to submit their work via their individual blogs, if they have them.

As usual, I’m aiming to find the right balance between “inclusive” and “manageable.”  If you know a few excellent blogs (preferably on the smaller side) that you suspect might not be on my radar, feel free to send me their website address (and contact info, if you have it).

Thanks,
