Soccer Dad

Co-bloggers

Consider this a kind of end of year report.

Soccer Dad has two fine co-bloggers, Daled Amos and Judeopundit. I'm writing this, because I notice that often - maybe as much as half the time - when another blogger quotes Soccer Dad, he or she is actually quoting my co-bloggers. I appreciate the mention, but I feel kind of bad getting credit for someone else's work.

I look at blogging as being media criticism and I'd say that's what makes a plurality of my posts. However, Daled Amos and Judeopundit have different focuses.

Daled Amos - one time classmate and friend for 25+ years - looks at the relationships between the governments of Israel and the United States. So if you see a post on diplomacy, it's likely his. Frequently he refers links to Contentions. (I do that quite a bit too.) Also if it's a post on Jewish communal concerns it's more likely to be Daled Amos than me. Daled Amos also has a very good sense of the "big story" which results in his posts getting picked up by memeorandum. A recent top notch post by Daled Amos was his survey of Sharia financing and the risks inherent in it.

Judeopundit spends a lot of time wading through the swamps of the official media of tyrannies. So if you see an item from Press TV, it's likely his. Or if there's dong, jong or gong in the title, he probably posted it. He also gets lot of good stuff from MPAC-UK. Last week he noticed an inconvenient admission by Hamas that was carried on Al Jazeera.

I asked Daled Amos and Judeopundit to join me here because I found their perspectives matched closely with mine, though their focuses were often different. I figured that readers would get bored of just reading me all the time and also that it was good to have possible backups in case I was out of town or something.

So please read Soccer Dad, and check out my co-bloggers too, because not all of their fine work ends up here. Thanks for reading!
