Dana Loesch

Readers' Choice: Bill McClellan

Dana Loesch, who pens the "Mamalogues" column on stltoday.com, picks up where Anna Quindlen left off in her tales of young motherhood, substituting Quindlen's sap for a heavy helping of sass. A twentysomething stay-at-home blogger/mother of two young sons, Loesch says she writes to keep herself "off the bottle." Great thing is, reading her feels like a conversation exchanged over a couple of barstools. No didacticism, no euphemisms — just straight and hilarious shots of life, in all its muckiness, begging to be chugged from the Post-Dispatch Web site. "Mamalogues" used to appear in the Post's print version, too. But Loesch's tell-all style was deemed a little too honest for the geezers who've come to dominate the daily-newspaper demo, and the editors yanked the column from the paper last December after only a six-month run. If a weekly hit of "Mamalogues" ain't enough, get your fix at Loesch's blog, mamalogues.com.

Great selection! As a mom with a little boy, Dana gives me a fresh way to look at mothering on a daily basis (as well as how to deal with a crazy family, nutty neighbors, good friends who suffer - seems I have everything but the horny husband!). Thanks, Dana!

Her column is so well written, it makes me almost want to have children!

(Looking a bit sheepishly here) Yes, I am one of her male readers. So addicting. Very worthy of such great honor. It's fun, as we relate from being a homeschool family, too.

Congrats, Dana! You are awesome. I love your writing.

I can't say it better than Julie already did (and everyone else before her). I so look forward to Dana's column and her posts and sure miss her when she's "gone", even for a day.

Great blog. I laugh with her, cry with her and never fail to appreciate her sense of humor and sarcastic wit.

In the tradition of Erma Bombeck and Elaine Viets you make us look at our lives and laugh out loud. Congratulations!!!
