The Thinking Blogger Award

Okay, Mikey Capital has tagged me for a Thinking Blogger Award. Meme’s and thinking..? Ironic?

The Thinking Blogger awards have rules as follows:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with 5 blogs that make you think
2. Link to this post so that people can find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the “Thinking Blogger Award” with a link to the post that you wrote (there is a silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).
4. Your chosen blogs cannot have been previously awarded.

It doesn’t say explain why you have given the award. But what kind of thinker doesn’t justify? Here goes.

Beep Beep It’s Me! – Not as prosaic in her discussion of Atheism as I am, which is probably a good thing. She also has her listed profession taken straight out of ‘History of The World Pt I’. I love Mel Brooks.

Blogger on the Cast Iron Balcony – I really need to comment here more. I intend to. I find most of the posts though provoking; stop-and-think kind of thought provoking. Maybe that’s why I don’t comment there.

Broken Left Leg – BLL has choice tidbits of topics that escape the eyes of the mainstream press; like “The war against Nudism”.

Doug’s Views – I’ve been reading Doug’s stuff since 2004, both on the blogopshere and on the Humanism discussion list. Always informative and good for starting debates.

It’s About Time – Another author I’ve been in discussion with since 2004. This time from a Linux background, but also in discussion of religion. Romana and I have been witness to some pretty shameful debate from some pretty disturbing fundies.
