Best of Blogs


Sherwin Siy, author of the blog post “Debating Three Strikes, Not the Problem it’s supposed to fix,” http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/2092, discusses the problem with that policy. The best aspect of his blog is that he maintains his topics current and provides background information. The way he writes is very clear and concise because he is an attorney. Most of the blog posts are law related and address many legal issues. Overall, the website is very easy to navigate through the different topics and has video guest speakers.

In Steve Adubato blog, “Take Tom Kean’s Advice on Higher Ed,” http://blog.nj.com/steveadubato/2009/03/take_tom_keans_advice_on_highe.html#more, he discussed the current issue about funding for higher education. Although, the blog is a little lengthy it is very well written. When I read his blog, I can feel the desperation about the school funding issue due to his careful selection of words. The website is very easy to navigate but the website lacks color and personality.

The content of the “Yes Men Strike Again” blog http://www.funnyordie.com/blog was composed by the FOD team. They address the controversial topic about petroleum and Exxon issues. The blog post was very elaborate with videos and provided good information. A very distracting aspect is the numerous advertisements. They are constantly changing ranging from the World of Warcraft to Rachel Ray.

This is a blog with a talk radio station that makes fun of liberals. People can create their free talk show and have people blog about different topics. Their main focus is on bashing liberals and pointing fingers. Overall there are a lot of different links that will lead you to blogs, video chat and more interactive options.

Lots of police behaving badly and one funny appellate lawyer (http://pdstuff.apublicdefender.com/2009/01/26/lots-of-police-behaving-badly-and-one-funny-appellate-lawyer/)
This blog is actually very funny and short. The blog is very humorous while pointing out the truth and hypocrisy about police. The writer of the blog incorporated links to support his claims. After every blog post there is a section where readers can add comments.

President Obama: What Is So Funny About Taxing And Regulating Marijuana?

This blog is actually very entertaining because of the various links and options to purchase gear. Although I am not an advocate of drugs and mind altering substances I thought this blog would be mildly entertaining. The best aspect about this blog is that it gets updated on a daily basis and the people who add to the website are very passionate about their cause.
