Time once again to expand my personal Hall of Fame, now prominently displayed on the right hand side of my blog. (I just realized, shouldn't a liberal's HoF be displayed on the LEFT? Oh well. LOL) Paralelling Major League Baseball's HoF elections, we're up to 1949 which saw one BWAA induction and two by the Verteran's Committee. So that's one Gold, two Silvers:
The Charlie Gehringer Gold Star #19: Left Hook!
Many of you will already be familiar with ClassicLiberal and his blog. He's a regular commenter here, and I've referenced and linked to his work many times. If there's any one source that I go to find out where the REAL Liberals mindset is - not those who are merely democrats, or Obama supporters - this is where I start. And I highly recommend his blog as a great source of analysis and information on just about any issue. And the best thing, for me anyway, are the times I've actually disagreed with him! There's nothing both more rewarding and more frustrating than debating with someone who you don't really disagree with in any broad idealogical way. I still disagree with him about the healthcare bill and filibusters, for example, but I also found his opposition to these things to be among the most well informed and well reasoned out there. (Hence my repeated recomendation of his blog during the health care debate.) This will likely be the first of many blogs that I've found becuase they're written by people who have commented here, but I'm happy to make it the first.
The Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown Silver Star #19: Engrish
I'm sorry. There's nothing funnier than the unintentionally hilarity that comes from a botched translation. And the fact is that translating between Japanese and English (and vice-versa, I'm well told) is HARD. All the same, some of these pictures will make laugh so hard it will be the equivalent of 20 sit-ups. I need it translating more!
The Kid Nichols Silver Star #20: Fartparty
Julia Wertz is the coolest, funniest, most dark and twisted chick I've never met. I only recently discovered her amazing work, but I'm totally hooked. It's not a web-comic, per se, since her books have been published, but she's got a good smattering of example strips covering many different, personal topics on her website. She's just totally, awesomely funny.
I posted one of her strips a couple days back.. Here's anoyther one. Click to see it full-sized. (And BUY HER BOOKS!!! LOL)
