With the news that journalist nonpareil Eric Black has apparently changed his mind about the place of overt bias in the media by joining the “progressive” Minnesota Monitor, I figured – if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.  Sorta like Black apparently did.

Of course, conservative bloggers are swooping in like vultures:

We understand that if Lileks hadn’t found a new bucket at the Strib, there was an agreement in principle for him to sign on at Nihilist In Golf Pants. And then there’s our open offer–made at JB’s behest–for Doug Grow to join the staff here at Fraters Libertas.

In the interest of smoothing the paths of the recent buy-out-ees (and possible future buyout-ees) into non-monastic life, I figured I’d provide a clearinghouse of blogs that’d be perfect in the same sense that MinMoneyitor was perfect for Erik Black [1]:

• DFL Shill Lori Sturdevant goes to Minnesota Democrats Exposed: Sturdevant’s pollyannaish faith in the eternal rightness of the DFL will play nicely against Michael Brodkorb’s invincible wall of facts the same way Eric Black’s ethos of objectivity will play against some of his new colleagues’ comically-overwrought partisan chauvinism.
• Doug Grow joins Kool Aid Report: Sane, predictable, sober, workadaddy-huggamommy mushy-lefty Grow would make a great match for the insane, unpredictable, high, non-mushy-non-lefty staff at KAR. 
• Katherine Kersten joins Blog of the Moderate Left: Talented writer meets the real guy who stands astride the forces of history in his basement in his underwear screaming “Pwned!”
• Nick Coleman starts writing for Anti-Strib: Firm believer in the holy priesthood of “journalism” and relentless faux-populist dramaturge (emphasis on “turge”) meets congenitally-irreverent plate-throwers.
• Minnesota Observer signs on Doug Tice: The always-comically-overwrought and under-informed M “MNob” Nob engages an employee who actually knows something.
• Powerline hires Jim Boyd: Conservative bloggers whom the intellectually ungifted on the left call “hacks”, meet a real intellectually-ungifted hack who hates conservatives!

That is all.
