I've redone the blogroll, dropped some either because they quit writing or because they deteriorated into sheer silliness, and added a few new ones. New to me anyway.
Jobsanger: Individual blogger, and very active; writes usually several times a day. He's a bit more of a liberal than I am and somewhat more of an Obama loyalist, but by no means an unthinking one. We've had some interesting discussions.
Vast Left Wing Conspiracy: Liberal, but definitely as critical of the present political climate as I am, and presents his views in a unique and interesting way. Snark done right.
Cogitamus: The actual writers are moderately interesting, but quite a few people participate in the discussions, and they get very interesting at times. The commenters have very strong views, to say the least, and are a bit more liberal loyalist than I am but are open to contrary discussion without deteriorating into name calling or mud slinging. Usually, anyway.
Sic Semper Tyrannis: Run by a retired Army colonel, and a bunch of intelligence and military types hang out there. They are a very sharp bunch, and do not have a veil of political ideology pulled over their eyes.
Daniel Larison: Outstanding conservative writer, but a real conservative with a functioning brain, not a Teabagger. He is definitely no fan of Mitt Romney, and for some very sound reasons.
I want to thank you for the kind words about my blog, and its inclusion on your blogroll.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm not quite the Obama loyalist you think. I do consider him superior to the choice the Republicans have offered this year, but I have criticized the president on various issues in the past (especially health care reform, where he didn't go nearly far enough).
The truth is that I may not even vote for him in November (since my home state of Texas will almost assuredly go for Romney anyway). I am seriously considering voting for Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party).
Well, the statement that you "may not" vote for him puts you ahead of me on the Obama loyalty scale, since I most certainly will not vote for him. Of course, like yours, my vote is essentially irrelevant, since Obama has a lock on California.
