Connection? I don't see no steenking connection.

NZ Bear maintains the Ecosystem and the Weblog Alliances, both of which get lots of exposure. However, if you're not paying attention, you might not have noticed that he's a pretty fair writer, too. Excerpt:

At this point, the Kerry campaign's belief that they can hold their opponents to one set of standards while blissfully ignoring the fact that their own partisans trample upon those same standards has passed being stupid, and is now becoming downright insulting. Did they really think that nobody would bother to check if the Democrats were similarly sharing lawyers with 527's?

That kind of carelessness might have cut it a few years ago, when somnolent Big Media hacks were satisfied to define reporting as getting quotes from both party's spokesmen. But times have changed, friends: there isn't just one new sheriff in town, there's thousands of us. We will fact-check your ass, and we will do it thoroughly and properly, with links and primary sources that let our readers decide where the truth lies. So straighten up and fly right, because we are watching --- and we do this crap for fun.

Baby seal. Club. You make the call.

1 I'm glad to see him out swinging the ol' Cluebat around again. Ever since the New Blog Showcase sponsorship thing almost destroyed the poor guy, he laid pretty low. Nice to see him coming out of the hibernation cave these last few weeks :-)

2 I'd almost forgotten what kind of a blogger he was when not embroiled in the Showcase fiasco. Glad to get the reminder.
