Location: New York
Have I Met Her? Yes
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: Megan, who I once shared a plate of nachos with at one of the Blogger Bashes, is one of the Blogosphere’s brightest people, either from a rhetorical or policy standpoint.
Best. Post. Ever. : The history-making establishment of “Jane’s Law”: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”

Have I Met Him? Yes
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: The rarest of birds at Brandeis- a half-Hispanic Republican- Josh provided invaluable frontline coverage of last October’s racial brouhaha on campus. And now he’s heading straight for New York.
Best. Post. Ever.: The whole October archive, for the “controversy on campus” series.
Blog: JimTreacher.com, aka Mother May I Sleep With Treacher
Blogger: Jim Treacher
Location: Unknown
Have I Met Him? No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: Long one of the funniest bloggers out there, Treacher evolved past the level of mere joker a few months ago when he played a part in exposing fraudulent “Navy SEAL” Micah Wright.
Best. Post. Ever.: A gleeful anti-Ted Rall post.
Blog: John Carroll’s Campaign Journal
Blogger: John Carroll
Location: Boston
Have I Met Him? Yes
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: About the only non-worthless journalism prof I ever had at ‘deis (he was, alas, only visiting), John is a correspondent on the local TV show “Greater Boston,” and blogs (sort of) about the election campaign. He taught me a journalistic maxim that can easily be ascribed to the Laci Peterson case: “It’s always the husband.”
Best. Post. Ever.: Some welcome Moore-bashing.
