Not strictly a blog, but commentary, interesting and funny newsitems and headlines, other worthy stuff. James Taranto is a great defender of Bush and fisks a lot of idiots trying to write commentary.
He was also on Rathergate and other MSM fuckups. Worth a daily read.
This is a blog, by pros on a nationally recognized print and online mag, National Review. It has the added benefit of having a big organization behind it, giving it some cred and resources indivduals don't have.
Also affiliated with NRO, great campaign stories and info. I guess this will die after the post-election glow wears off (unless Kerry runs again in 4 years?)
Unbiased, middle of the road commentary. He covers a lot of conservative stories but doesn't have an axe to grind.
Has a radio show and writes opinion columns- his blog is just a more informal way to get his opinions out there and follow the story of the moment. Smart, insightful guy.
Funny and professional writer- his blog is actually on Slate and is more like a daily collection of 2-3 paragraphs, but always interesting. Was the most uncommited Kerry booster I've seen, had more anti-Kerry stuff than some Bush backers.
"Chrenkin' off" on the Right side of life since 1972 - - - The news and views from Down Under on politics, international affairs and culture
Another pro commentator running a blog- she doesn't actually blog but posts a short op-piece once a day, which is fine. She's great and she's a fucking babe as well.
Good blog with lots of fact based stuff- they actually do research and work here.
Novelist and screenwriter with a great take on political and current events. This is actually how all intellectual writer/artists should be if they were honest about it. It seems like you become a knee-jerk lib when you get to this level- not Roger, big Bush backer.
The best "inside Iraq" blog.
Pretty good 'second tier' blogger- not with the big boys but worth a link.
I include him because he's one of the big boys and used to be a good read- he's incidently gay and the gay marriage contro informs his every post now, down to turning against Bush and backing Kerry after cheerleading up to the war. I rarely read him now because he revels in anything bad in Iraq. Take it for what its worth.
James Lileks is another big boy who is sometimes brilliant. He's like your clean-up batter, best hitter on the team, and he rebuts idiot opinion pieces like noone else, he's the guy you want up there. However, he blogs way too much personal stuff and 3/4 of his shit isn't worth reading. Check him out when someone links to an interesting piece is your best bet.
