Five Recommended Nebraska Blogs
Nebraska may not be the most literary of states (but, hey, we gave the world Willa Cather, Mari Sandoz, and Wright Morris) but there are still people around with something to say. What better way to say it than on a blog? This is my December 2005 list of Nebraska Blogs that I’ve been impressed with and recommend that you give them at least a quick look.
Don’t Let Me Stop You
This blog tends to have a political focus, and looks at Nebraska, national, and sometime international events. Very well written by someone who definitely has something to say, Lots of good links and an intelligent point of view, even though you may not always agree.
Plains Feeder
Like Don’t Let Me Stop You, this blog enjoys the benefits of having a small group of contributors, some of which are shared between the two blogs. Again, the subject matter tends to be politically with a plains point of view, interspersed freely with general interest topics. It also has good links. It’s updated almost daily, and always interesting.
Panhandle Pundit
Ryne McClaren publishes this western Nebraska Blog, and does it very well. One may not always agree with his right-of-center views, but his selection of topics is excellent, his writing very clear, and you usually no exactly where he is coming from. What more could you ask? Ryne presents a wide range of links to similar blogs, with a separate section for Nebraska and South Dakota blogs. Worth a look!
From the Heartland
Published by Gunscribe, this blog, as his blog-name suggests, mixes a dose of gun and gun related articles with outdoor sports, political, and general opinion posts. Gunscribe writes well, expresses his opinions clearly, and will never be accused of being wishy-washy. He is apparently based in Lincoln, and treats the reader to some biting comments about Lincoln city government, always a source of some amusement (particularly for those of us who can watch from afar and aren’t directly effected by their shenanigans).
Husker Mike’s Blasphemy
I’m not usually a big fan of sports blogs, but Husker Mike as a good one. His objectivity and selection of topics makes for an interesting read. Although Mike’s focus is primarily on Nebraska football (after all, this is Nebraska), he also brings in a full range of other Nebraska sports and some articles from other other Nebraska colleges. Sports fans, or even those who are only mildly interested in sports, should check out this blog.

The guy *Husker Mike* is an idiot and doesn't represent any Cornhusker fan I know.
He pines for Frank Solich and doesn't even want the current staff and administration to succeed.
He is the WORST kind of fan.
Nothing like a couple of bad seasons to bring out the vitriol. Thanks for the kind words and the link, Bob. Did I hear you were a fisherman?
Tahnk you for the kind words.
Sorry it took so long to aknowledge them, but We have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks.
