George Turner, "Vengance" as an example.
If I can get a little credit for sheer length, lol....

Armies Of Liberation! Best articles published in the Middle East. A lone Conservative voice in the wilderness. etc.
Since Armies of liberation is already there:
American Warmonger
I'll be cocky and arrogant.
Hands down
Eject!Eject!Eject!
Andrew Olmsted
I'd also put the Major up for a milblogger if there were such a category.

My essays are rather good I think.
Since Wretchard has already been nominated, I'll throw in Vanderleun.

La Shawn Barber's Corner

The Fourth Rail, http://www.billroggio.com
Eject! Eject! Eject!

The Belmont Club is really good, but it's a group blog, I kind of see this as a category for individuals, and as such, I see a big fat tie, here:
http://www.lashawnbarber.com
and
http://www.ejectejecteject.com
and
http://wolfgangvonskeptik.mu.nu/
My Pet Jawa or my companion animal Jawa or the Jawa Report, whatever you wish.
A tie between www.ejectejecteject.com and Wretchard at Belmont Club.
You have to read the solo work of Dervala Hanley at http://www.dervala.net before you decide on this competitive category. Some of her essays are three paragraphs long and they pack the punch of a page-length editorial in a mainstream paper.
FROGGY RUMINATIONS,
Need I say more?
COOPER FOR PRESIDENT!!
Brilliance....humor....anger.....
simply without peer.

I'm not sure if she falls under the essayist category, but Lorianne is a student of Thoreau (and a professor too!) and it shows. Brilliant, beautiful writing.

Don't let the name fool you, it packs a punch. It is to the point and will excite your mind and stir the emotions. The comments left behind by fellow readers are thoughtful and stirring as well. Better yet check it out for yourself.
This site is my first stop.
Enjoy

Wretchard at the Belmont Club
There is no question - regardless of one's views on politics - that Belmont Club is a work of art and that Wretchard is unsurpassed in the quality of his essays, as many other bloggers have also noted. See this posting with links about the Belmont Club blog - http://www.lawpundit.com/blog/2004/10/belmont-club-work-of-art.htm

The Middle Ground
Kat does an amazing amount of research and you does a fantastic job of laying everything out. She is very passionate about her subjects and it comes through clearly in her writing.

Bill Whittle at www.ejectejecteject.com writes some powerful stuff. Moving, deeply passionate, articulate and humorous (though never at the expense of his being taken seriously), Bill never fails to disappoint.
While not always containing long essays... she often time does, and they're very good. I nominate Th' inkwell.

Switched At Birth.... her posts are lyrical!
I would like to nominate "A Fine Kettle of Fish," which is an eclectic series of insightful, candid commentaries on direct marketing and advertising.
