1. Blogs you visit daily: just this one. I don’t read blogs much any more
2. Favorite topics to blog about: politics(barely), Star Trek, military heroes
3. Blogging pet peeves: LONG ass posts that take 10 minutes to read. Short and condensed people. YouTube videos and large images. It’s hell on dialup
4. Favorite new blog: refer to question #1

Chris I agree with your “LONG ass posts” pet peeve but I don’t get the “short and condensed people.”

Make the post short and to the point. You can do a good post without it being a 3 page essay.

1. way too many to count. But, mostly I do it through Bloglines.
2. politics, moonbats, illegal immigration, war on terror global warming
3. people who think I am ultra-partisan because they are not wise enough to agree with me
Long, long, long posts. Some of my favorite bloggers do this, and, it gets to a point where you are unable to continue reading. Captain Ed has done a good job at cutting his down from years ago. If they are long, hide them with a more tag, or use an inline more plugin.
4. Not sure I have a favorite new one, as in just started.

Well, I think my answers would be similar to yours, except I’m not thinking too much about evolution these days. But I totally agree w/the pet peeve about folks who are overly-partisan. I could have a GREAT conversation w/someone of different views, if they were open even the slightest to talking WITH me, rather than AT me. You know?

Unfortunately, the differences between the left and right, particularly on the internet, is vast.
