'Roll Call XII

Blog: The Lex Files
Blogger: Lex Friedman
Location: LA
Have I Met Him: Yes
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: This Brandeis grad and former Justice columnist now lives out in LA with his wife Lauren, who is (no joke) slated to be the first-ever makeover recipient on the forthcoming “Queer Eye For the Straight Girl.”
Best. Post. Ever. : An album review/tribute by Lex about his hero, “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Blog: Lindsayism
Blogger: Lindsay Robertson
Location: New York
Have I Met Her: No
Why She’s On the ‘Roll: Hipster humor and commentary that's funny- funny enough to get Lindsay a job with Comedy Central, anyway.
Best. Post. Ever. : One of her first, a shot at women's magazines: "895 Ways To Change So Someone (Rich) Will Marry You.” It somehow entails changing every instance of "he," "her," and "your man" to "Carrot Top."

Blog: Little Green Footballs
Blogger: Charles Johnson
Location: California
Have I Met Him: No
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: It may be off-the-charts right wing, especially in the comments; it's easily the most reactionary blog of the dozens listed here. But LGF does provide a service in dredging up some of the worst anti-American/anti-Semitic venom spread by media in the Arab world.
Best. Post. Ever. : Some commentary on a pro-Palestinian cartoon that ran in the New York Times Magazine.

Blog: Lockhart Steele Internet Presence
Blogger: Lockhart Steele
Location: Lower East Side, Manhattan
Have I Met Him: Yes
Why He’s On the ‘Roll: A Lower East Side hipster who blogs about the Red Sox, Lockhart also gets credit for introducing Bat-Girl to the world. Well, it was either him or Eric Neel.
Best. Post. Ever. : Some Phish Photos.
