Suitably Flip

Media For All Wardrobes

By now, you're likely aware of the blog juggernaut known as Pajamas Media, the new media consortium that takes its moniker from Jonathan Klein's (overseer of "60 Minutes" during Rathergate) embittered derision of the credibility of a "bunch of guys in their pajamas writing".

Not surprisingly, bloggers embraced the slight, particularly when their PJ-clad skills were vindicated and Rather and Mapes slowly and awkwardly owned up to their catchpenny journalism.  Much the way "Yankee Doodle Dandy" was appropriated from an 18th century British slur.

Pajamas Media represents the best bloggers on the block, each identifiable by the spiffy PJM logo that hangs on their sidebars.

I'm a big fan, not only of the effort, but of a great number of the contributing bloggers themselves.  If you're looking for a stimulating reading list, this is a fine start.  Still, while pajama-blogging is a highly agreeable way to go, there are those of us who - from time to time - simply can't be bothered even to pull on traditional sleepwear.  Or whose irregular builds may make pajamas untenable.  Or who simply feel a little more comfortable in alternative duds.

To serve that end, I'm happy to offer the following several alternative affiliations to fellow bloggers.  Feel free to pluck one for use on your own sidebar, whichever best reflects your own preferred blogging getup.
