'Roll Call XI

Blog: Kambri Crews’ Daily Dose
Blogger: Kambri Crews
Location: Queens
Have I Met Her?: Yes
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: This native Texan, who Paul Katcher accurately called "NYC's Best-Looking Blog Basher," writes about her adventures in New York and the various theater/comedy events she promotes. She also dates the guy from the “Chappelle’s Show” ‘Real World’ parody, but that was not her in the sketch having sex with Tyree and "Lysol."
Best. Post. Ever. : Some advice related to McDonalds table etiquette.

Blog: KausFiles
Blogger: Mickey Kaus
Location: California
Have I Met Him: No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: One of the world’s most accomplished political bloggers (who actually gets paid to do it by Slate), Mickey is blogging his second presidential campaign, which I can’t say about too many people. I started reading KausFiles during his Bush-or-Gore “Don’t Rush Me” series, and never stopped.
Best. Post. Ever. : The “Howell Raines-o-meter,” which Kaus put on his site about four hours before the NYT editor resigned.

Blog: KesherTalk
Blogger: Judith Weiss, et.al
Location: New York
Have I Met Her?: Yes
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: A group blog covering Jewish issues led by Manhattanite Judith Weiss; now that Fiddish is gone it's unquestionably the best J-blog written by a New Yorker named Weiss.
Best. Post. Ever. : Some material about everyone's favorite collegiate Israel-basher, Charlotte "Little Red Kaffiyah Hood" Kates.

Blog: The Kicker
Blogger: Elizabeth Spiers
Location: New York
Have I Met Her?: Yes
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: The role model for aspiring journalists everywhere trying to get in on the big-media action by blogging first, Elizabeth jumped from Gawker to New York magazine last year- but not before hatching a wonderful creation called the Christopher Hitchens Drinking Club.
Best. Post. Ever. : A Central Park story.

Blog: The Kosher Blog
Blogger: Jonathan Abbett
Location: Boston area
Have I Met Him: Yes
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: My old friend from Brandeis could be producing fire-breathing MidEast commentary, but he smartly realized there’s enough of that on the web already. So he instead deals in a kinder, gentler topic: kosher cooking.
Best. Post. Ever. : Two words: Kosher Atkins.
