    TL is still the best blog period, in my book. Personally I do not see this blog as a single issue blog; its scope is much wider than legal defense issues. Also as much as the hard work bloggers do, deserves recognition I have a bit of a problem with the award thing in general. I see the blogosphere as collaborative effort which at its best provides many facets of the goings on in what we call the real world. No picture is complete from any one blog, in fact the nature of the blogosphere illuminates the fact that no picture is complete ever, just lots of facets reflecting what may be true. The blogosphere is way more accurate than the prior model of a single historical narrative (the victors) and the vanilla msm news reporting which is archaic at this point. The blogosphere is perhaps the most revealing aspect as to where we are as a culture today. Thanks to all the bloggers who make this possible. And I use the term bloggers to refer to all who participate, not just the creators of the individual blogs.
