Captain's Quarters
Morrissey started his blog in October 2003, basing its name on his nickname "Captain" Ed. ("Captain" is "just a nickname", not a rank.) It focused largely on politics, from a conservative viewpoint. The blog grew in popularity and readership. By 2007, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was calling Captains Quarters one of the five "best-read national conservative bloggers."
People who have written "guest posts" on Captain's Quarters include Senator John McCain, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and Senator James Inhofe.
