I meticulously follow politics, as do most other people here, I suspect. I find that blogs are a great source for the latest news and discussion. My very, very favorite one is JoshuaPundit, a relatively obscure blog about rabbits, flowers, and jihad. I implore y'all to visit it at least once. Also, the Black Iris of Jordan ain't half bad. The author is a young Palestinian woman living in canada. Gotta get both sides of the story, y'know.

And now, any blogs you're particularly fond of?

http://www.dailykos.com
http://kakistocrats.com/

Those are my three sources.

Cool. Thanks for the input.

I don't read Balloonjuice every day, but John Cole is a decent conservative, an honest one, and one I feel I can trust.

I spend a lot of time on liberal blogs, as you might expect.

I've never found a blog worth reading, and loathe blogs as a whole.

I read Cole because it gives a perspective on the right without being toxic like littlegreenfascists or Malkin. That and Tim F is normally a fairly good source.

Do you realize that you used the words "Decent" and "Conservative." in the same sentence? Are you sure you're not sick?

I know there are some people around here who think I'm anti-conservative. I'm not. I'm anti-hack. I have conservative friends in real life, and I'm friendly with people on this board who are more conservative than I am. They're John Cole types of conservatives.

And then there are those--and I'm sure I don't have to name names--who are more of the Matt Drudge/Powerline type of conservatives, and those people can go fuck themselves.

I think I know what you mean.
