Who is your favorite blogger?

Who is your favorite political blogger?

A few years ago someone turned me on to Fred Reed. His curmudgeon style turns me on. I also agree with him on most points as he bashes both political parties. Where I tend to disagree with him is on womens' rights. He seems to hold a grudge from the ERA era or something that predates my interest in politics.

How is this related to the enviroment? Wouldn't this be better addressed in Politics? I'll read more of Fred, he does look a bit toxic ala Hunter Thompson...

Shit. Wrong forum. I was distracted with a soldering task.

Let's roll with it until a moderator moves the thread to Politics.

Hello.

Nomi Prins is my favorite brainiac hottie, but she is not a blogger.

I read a blog or two and he definitely seems like a Gonzo wannabee, as understandable as that is. He sometimes seemed more bitter than funny.

I'm not familiar with Cenc. I have watched a few Young Turk videos on YouTube and generally agree with their policy positions. Where they turned me off was they seemed to make drama out of national politics. In that regard I left with about the same bad taste as digesting a Nancy Pelosi press appearance. I wanted to cheer but I couldn't because they made no attempt to understand rednecks.
