Brad DeLong nominates his top five weblog posts ever, and is gracious enough to include this post among them. This got me to thinking about Matt Yglesias' initial point -- there are so many newcomers to the blogosphere that, "the aggregate audience for blog commentary is enormously larger than it was a few years ago, so it's quite possible that there are people reading this blog right now who have never heard of of the classic[s]..." So, without further ado, here are my top five, in chronological order: 1) Jacob Levy, "Political Theory and Political Philosophy." 2) Jack Balkin, "What I learned about blogging in a year." 3) Belle Waring, "If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride -- A Pony!" 4) Scott Eric Kaufman, "My Morning: A Play in One Uncomfortable Act." 5) Megan McArdle, "Full Disclosure....." Longtime readers are warmly encouraged to proffer their faves in the comments.
