A blog of political positions and thoughts, from a liberal who evolved into a moderate, and who keeps on evolving. Open-minded analysis. Plain writing. Occasional profanity.

Open thread: Assigned reading
What are the best political
sites? Who should I read to broaden my thinking?
One request--nothing long. No books. And tell
me why I should read someone. What makes it worth your time or mine?
MP - I generally stop by these sites when I have the time:
Matt Glassman The Monkey Cage Greg Mankiw A Plain Blog About Politics Zero Hedge KausFiles Project Syndicate Slate Keith Hennessey
Plus the Economist, WaPo and the Boston Globe from time to time. And whatever else looks interesting that is linked to from any of the above.
I like smart writing and am always looking to fill in my own blind spots. I tend to be more interested in economic related matters of public policy than I am the social ones, but sometimes I dig in on those too.
Please keep comments short and free of personal insults. Insults such as libtard, Obummer, Repug, wingnut, and moonbat are not welcome and will be edited or deleted. Cliches we've all heard before will be deleted, so make sure there is substance to your remarks. Links to data are very welcome so we can all learn and interpret for ourselves.
Anonymous comments are welcome, but it's better if you click on "Name/URL" and enter any screen name. Thank you.
