Daou wins post of the week. Scats loses 76th week in a row.

Which leads to an idea: do you think there'd be any use in having a periodical hardcopy compendium of the best (left) blog writing? Would this help advance the ideas or counter the winger bullshit in any way? By forcing book reviews and talk-show plugs for example, it could get the POV across in other trad media? Or maybe a weekly magazine roundup? Maybe it could work as sort of an open-source version of the GOP talking-points blast faxing?
Just spitballin'.
