I've been quite busy finishing up my latest project at work, but I wrapped it up yesterday, and find myself with quite a bit of time on my hands. Here are the blogs I try to read, (along with Mr. D's, of course) on a regular basis. My apologies for the late response:<BR/><BR/>On Law and Society...<BR/>http://www.balkin.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://www.volokh.com/<BR/><BR/>On History and Religion, with a strong focus on the Middle East... <BR/>http://www.juancole.com/<BR/><BR/>On foreign affairs, Gregory Djerejian is excellent. He is a Hamiltonian realist who may consider himself a Conservative, but does not share much in common with the current Administration. I wish he wrote more frequently, but when he does find the time, his stuff is always far better than anything else I've read...<BR/>http://www.belgraviadispatch.com/<BR/><BR/>Pure debate on many issues, with a strong focus on legal issue. Neither Liberal or Conservative, but with a tilt toward the latter...<BR/>http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/<BR/><BR/>My favorite liberals...<BR/>Glenn Greenwld at Salon<BR/>http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/<BR/><BR/>Matt Yglesias at Think Progress<BR/>http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/<BR/><BR/>and Josh Marshall...<BR/>http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/<BR/>They are all quite liberal, but not blindly so, and not nearly as mindless as the Dkos crowd.<BR/><BR/>Just about everybody at the Atlantic, but particularly, Ross Douthat(Con), James Fallows (Con?, whose insights into China, where he lives, are really interesting), and Andrew Sullivan (Liberatarian Con/Social Lib)...<BR/>http://www.theatlantic.com/<BR/><BR/>Lastly, for Economics, nobody beats Greg Mankiw...<BR/>http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>BTW, in compiling this list, I came to realize I probably read more Conservative blogs than liberal ones. I am not sure what that means, but I thought you might get a kick out of hearing that.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
