It’s So My Mom.

So I’ve been collecting links to put in my blogroll (that’s the fancy term for the list of blogs and/or Web sites you usually see on the right of a page), and I really must say I’m having a hard time finding some that fit with the humorous daughter theme of this one. Type “mom blogs” in Google and you’ll have more hits than would be useful at a hippie party. Type in “daughter blog,” and you get a lot of returns about Meghan McCain (blech) and a father/daughter blog from a Filipino dad. That’s about it. So I’m asking you all to submit your favs.

I do have a couple to add: Margaret and Helen is a blog by some eightysomething women who have been friends for sixty years. More importantly, they’re funny. Most importantly, they hate Rush Limbaugh. Seriously, these old ladies are hilarious. “I’ll stop calling Sarah Palin a bitch when she stops acting like a bitch,” Margaret (or Helen) opines. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Salon.com isn’t a blog, but they have insightful and intriguing long-form journalism. And The Straight Dope has been around for a while. I dare you to not find the answer to some question you’ve carried your whole life–not the existential ones, but more like, “How many calories are in sperm?”; “Does the Holy Grail really exist?” and “Did someone really hang herself on the set of The Wizard of Oz?”

Dooce is by former Mormon/Web designer Heather B. Armstrong, who grew up in Memphis but eventually moved to the big L.A. When her too-revealing blog came to the attention of higher-ups at her Cali firm, she was fired. Now she’s living quite comfortably off her Web page, complete with pics of her dog in a banana costume. It helps her blog that she’s, like, a professional everything.

Lastly, I couldn’t forget Ze Frank. If you’re bored at work, you’ll surely find something on his megalomaniacal page, chock-full of interactive game-thingies and his own myriad impressions and musings.
