Minnesota Blogs You Should Be Reading: Northern Alliance Wannabe
By Mitch Berg
Dan Stover tipped his hand bright and early with the title of his blog – but he’s been cranking out good stuff, regularly, for over three years now, which on the blogosphere is an eternity.
His weekly “Best of the MOB” feature – which has apparently been running for a while – is a great introduction to some of the MOB blogs that might get lost in the shuffle. And he comes up with angles for things that I just don’t see from anyone else.
No, that’s a good thing; here’s one, on the Spitzer resignation’s “runway” impact:
For today, though, what was fasciniating was this picture on the home page of FoxNews.com this morning.
On the right is Mr. & Mrs. Spitzer, and on the left is Mr. & Mrs. Jim McGreevey (former NJ governor), as they appeared in their respective press conferences they held for their respective sex scandals.Do you think the DNC has their own scandal style consultant(s)? That could be a full time job for someone. I can’t wait for Spitzer’s “I am a Pervert-American” speech.
Northern Alliance Wannabe? Well, getting on the air is a bolt-from-the-blue bit of serendipity, but Dan’s got quite a thing going on his own. And if you’re not reading it, you should be.

I’m glad you’re doing this, Mitch. And Dan’s blog is an excellent choice.

In contrast to the Republican Party, where the gay guys and whoremongers just lie about it.

the gay guys and whoremongers….
mangy clown has been obsessed with Barney Frank lately.

Wow, thanks for the nod, Mitch. I’m humbled.
Of course, the “wannabe” think is totally tongue in cheek, but I certainly do appreciate the efforts of the NARN in making Minnesota a bit less “deep, depressing blue.”

I love that “bright splash of red in a sea of dingy, depressing institutional blue”.

Stover’s on a roll. He wins a caption contest over at EckerNet and now Mitch tabs him.
“Humbled”?
Hah – there’ll be no living with him now.
Congrats, Big Dan!

Mitch, I still remember the shout-out you gave our blog in its early years, when no one read us but you and one or two others.
And it’s a kick to see Dan Stover (who richly deserves it) get his Shot in the Dark shout-out too.
Now.
Can the Clown post on any topic without farting in the middle of the room?
Congratulations, Dan.

Do you think there’s something to the fact that the stripes on the ties run in two different directions….?
