The folks at Powerline celebrated the fifth birthday of their blog the day after my birthday. Powerline is probably the best conservative blog in the business. They achieved national fame when they exposed the fabrication on which the infamous Sixty Minutes story about George W. Bush's national guard service was based. Since then Powerline has more than deserved its national status. It is a very responsible and very thoughtful blog, and anyone on the left or right who wants to keep track of the best conservative take on any political issue would do well to consult it regularly.
Powerline has connections with the Claremont Institute, for which I once worked. A couple years ago I had the pleasure of listening to Powerline's Scott Johnson at an American Political Science Association panel. When I rose to ask a question, I identified myself as a representative of South Dakota Politics, "we're the blog," I said, "that brought down Tom Daschle." That was a joke, of course, but it got a laugh.
Professor Schaff's favorite blog is No Left Turns, and it's a good one to be sure. Mine is Powerline. Happy Birthday, John, Scott, and Paul. Keep up the good work.
