The Polit­buro Dik­tat wants to know Who’s Your Dad­dy?:

Blog­gers, please leave a com­ment [at his place, not here] noting:

1. your blog­fa­ther, or blog­moth­er, as the case may be. Just one please — the one blog that, more than any oth­er, inspired you to start blog­ging. Please don’t name Instapun­dit, unless you are on his blogchil­dren list.
2. Include your blog-birth-month, the month that you start­ed blog­ging, if you can.
3. If you are rea­son­ably cer­tain that you have spawned any blog-chil­dren, men­tion them, too.

None of my blog­par­ents is on the chart yet, which is odd. I cit­ed Dai­lykos, though TPM, Atrios, Pharyn­gu­la, Chris Mooney and Dave Nei­w­ert all con­tributed to the zygote that became TfK.

To my knowl­edge, I’m blog-child­less, though who knows what hap­pened between TfK and some slinky lit­tle site when I was­n’t pay­ing attention.
