New to the Blogroll: No Pundit IntendedJoel Gaines is not new to me, however. Over at Kerry Haters we had a brief feature optimistically called "Microbe of the Day", where we tried to locate a small blog that deserved a wider audience. We found some excellent blogs that way, including
Red Line Rants (where have you gone, Tyler?) and the
Nudnik File (which I will add to the blogroll shortly). The third Microbe of the Day was
No Pundit Intended. Joel's a fine blogger with that eye for the good story, the willingness to riff on the subject, and the talent to do it well.
Here he
links to an article that appears to confirm the NY Times' shoddy work on a story regarding an infant found alive after the tsunami whom seven parents were reportedly fighting over. The article indicates that the Times' reporter was wrong on the story, that only one couple was claiming the baby, and that the story had delayed the baby's return to the parents while DNA tests confirmed the paternity.
The interesting thing about this story is that it sparked a minor bit of infighting among two conservative blogs. One is
Wizbang, the top 20 blog, and the other is
Carnivorous Conservative, which, while not nearly as well-known is certainly not an insignificant blog. CC won our Phony John Kerry Magazine Story Contest at KH with an absolutely hilarious post about John Kerry's own Miracle on Ice. However, I confess I don't get what Dan's driving at with his crusade against Wizbang over this story, which seems relatively straightforward.
At any rate, stop in and say hello to Joel at
No Pundit Intended. Great blogger, going places.
