GM's Corner : A Thinking Blogger Thinks I Think and Awarded Me The Thinking Bloggers Award

A Thinking Blogger Thinks I Think and Awarded Me The Thinking Bloggers Award

My very dear friend Fausta Wirtz of Fausta's Blog was awarded a Thinking Bloggers Award complete with logo:

Now, Fausta is one of the really good bloggers around, and she has been on my Favorites List from way back when she was on blogspot and called her blog "The Bad Hair Blog." But, I digress, Fausta then posted the following:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you Think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award" with a link to the post that you wrote.
Since the Nice Matters Award was for women bloggers, now it's time for the guys:

1. Siggy, for his blog and for his invaluable support and help with my podcasts.

2. Ed Morrissey, for his excellent blog and for being a true friend.

3. GM Roper, because his posts make me laugh and Think.

4. Rob Bluey for his blog, for his support, and for his work at the Heritage Foundation, which is an invaluable source of well-researched, well-explained information in all economic matters affecting our contry.

5. Jeremayakovka, for his excellent commentary on arts and politics.

Thinking it through, I Thinkthat she gave a lot of Thought to the process and nominated four really good bloggers/Thinkers and she also nominated me. I've been nominated before by some really good folk, and I'll add this one to the score for a Triple Play of Thinking Blogger. At least I Think I can do that. I even Think I may be able to do this without too many gripes. I don't Think too many folk will Think it inappropriate.

So, who to nominate? First, they must either be Thinkers or make me Think. OK, so here goes:
1. Yaacov Ben Moshe who writes Breath of the Beast A Thinker if there ever was one.
2. Lawrence Harris who occasionsly blogs at GM's Corner. I can't read 5 sentences of his without Thinking about what he has said.
3. The Bald Headed Geek who writes a blog of the same name who in spite of being quite a Thinker has still said some nice things about me. Silly man!
4. Mike at Mike's America - an unabashed patriot. Nuff said!
5. My Aussie Friend Didgeman from Down Under: who blogs at Voice of the Pacific a true Thinker who supports both his country, and unabashedly ours!

Note: Though some of this is said jestfully, the thoughts behind my thanks to Fausta and my feelings about my nominees are sincere and well Thought out.

I think, and I know, GM's most worthy of 1,000 TBA's.

Thank you! I am honored to be in such wonderful company.
