Kicking ASS/ANE de coup-de-pied
You will note that our post title is in both English and French. That’s because this award came to us from the excellent Another Point of View, a Reconstitution friend of great insight from the (rapidly disappearing) icy plains of Canada. I am delighted to receive an award of this nature, as Reconstitution is primarily a blunt, unvarnished, rock throwing rag. It seems to me like this one fits best of all, for me at least.
Let’s take a look at the rules for bestowing this award, from APOV’s page:
- Choose 5 bloggers that you feel are “Kick Ass Bloggers”
- Let ‘em know in your post or via email, twitter or blog comments that they’ve received an award
- Share the love and link back to both the person who awarded you and back to www.mammadawg.com
- Hop on back to the Kick Ass Blogger Club HQ to sign Mr. Linky then pass it on!
So simple even a pirate could follow it, just the way I like it. So without further ado, here are 5 blogs that I feel are deserving of this honor, as well as a few minutes of your time.
From the Left is keeping a watchful eye on wingtard electoral shenanigans, and staunchly backing the Presidential candidacy of Barack Obama.
The Unruly Mob is the very definition of a kick ass blog. Rock throwers all, they are a favorite read of mine.
Pennsylvania for Change is locally themed, but takes on subjects of interest to all Americans.
Read, Write, React is a recent newcomer to the Reconstitution blogroll, but very worthy of this award. This one is all over the place in its subject matter, and it’s angry-just the way I like ‘em.
Suzie-Q is a collection of rock throwers, where you’ll even find an occasional lob from me.
I’m sure this will keep you busy for awhile, so go enjoy them all. Tell ‘em a pirate sent you 
Make sure to drop by APOV often as well, for the Canadians have their own wingtard mutant problem. Mentarch takes him on quite well.

Thank you so much for mentioning Pennsylvania for Change. I am humbled and honored. You have such a great blog here and you are a wonderful way of expressing your thoughts.
Sorry, I haven’t visited in a while.
Pennsylvania for Change was started during the PA primaries basically to counter a local PA blog that was pushing Hillary Clinton. I came up with the name just on a lark. And now the PA Obama campaign workers have an email address like this: [initial][name]@paforchange.com How strange is that??? Pennsylvania for Change email address is paforchange@gmail.com Scary

I hope all is well with you, JR…
Thanks so much for the kind words about my site here. All of these sites are excellent and I’m proud to be included!
I was just looking to see it you had posted on a possible Leiberman/McCain ticket. I bet you could come up with a real winner there… (and no lobs allowed!)
Thanks Again,
Jeff

Congratz again, JR – you deserve it!
However, “kicking ass” in French would be “botter des culs” …
(in French, cul = buttocks = butt = ass)
Hehe

Colloquial French, I know nothing of. Thanks for the education.

Jeff,
There are so many effing targets that you hardly have time to load up. I am very hopeful that the embalmed zombie will select either LIEberman or Rob Portman, as either choice will cost him a whole bunch of votes. I am planning a Johnny’s Birthday special post that will take care of all this and more. Stay tuned

Good for you Jolly Rogers!!! I am glad you got this award!

JR – I am so looking forward to the old man McCain’s birthday special that you are planning. It’s sure to be “special” and ass kicking.

The McCavein family is feeding me so much shit to use on them, I’m starting to wonder how long my birthday special will wind up being.
