Fun New Category: Anti-Politician Blogs
As part of my hopeless quest to properly catalog everything, I've separated my Bloglines-driven blogroll into categories for some time now. I even call it a "feedroll" because some of the feeds represented there aren't from blogs. (By the way, in case you ever wondered, the sorting is by Most Recent Update, so it's a rolling 'roll.)
Now that I have discovered a third fourth blog of a certain type, I think it's time to put them all together, and hopefully find and add more.
So, we already have the "2006 Campaign Supporters" category. That's where you'll find Blogging for Bryant, Conservatives for Corker, Forward with Ford, etc. (I think there's an alliteration requirement. Kudos for Kurita, anyone?) Bryson for Governor got added there as soon as VolunteerVoters pointed out its existence.
But what to do with its quickly assembled counterpart, "The Real Jim Bryson"?
It became apparent that I needed a new category when I realized that I have already rolled an anti-[Rep.] Matthew Hill blog (and there's another I'm grabbing right after posting this -- this Hill guy stirs up some strong feelings!), and an anti-[Chattanooga Mayor] Ron Littlefield blog. (WorstMayorEver is one of my favorites, not because I'm anti-Littlefield, but because its satire is so good.)
Ergo, without further ado, I present the Detractors as the newest category in TennesseeTicket.com's feedroll. If you know of a blog for which there is a sole purpose, and that purpose is to present a less-than-admirable viewpoint of a Tennessee official or candidate (federal, state, or local), please let me know about it and I will add its feed to the category. Although some of these will surely be crackpots whining about nothing, others will undoubtedly present valuable counterpoint that will help us all make the best decisions on election days.
UPDATE (pre-post): Now where do I put this one? (via Kleinheider again)
