I've always had a fondness for Jack Cluth and The People's Republic of Seabrook. Sure, we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but we always respected each other's opinion. He was also the very first person to blogroll me.

I'm pretty happy to see that Jack's site has really taken off recently. I don't think he even realized it, until I pointed out that he had cracked the Top 100 on Blogrolling.com. He's since dropped a few spots, but with 95 blogrolls, I reckon he's probably ranked about 105 or 106.

Recently, he even got a mention in the Washington Post as a warblogger. It'll be interesting to see him claw his way up from the bowels of obscurity to the limelight of success. Who knows, he might just turn out to be the liberal version of Glenn Reynolds. Hell, he's already got my vote for the liberal Rush Limbaugh that the democrats are looking for.
