As Scott Eiland remarked about Mithras, Mithras used to hang around Sasha Castiel’s blog comments with such pithy sayings as, "if it weren’t for rape, Republicans wouldn’t get any sex at all.". And I see he is still joining the pile-on of Atrios commentors requesting Malkin’s rape and murder (which is the only subject that Malkin comes up under on the comments section).
Good for him. I hope someday he gets out of the gutter, but given that other leftie bloggers are standing on his head, that does not seem altogether too likely. But Hey, when one of his favorite blogs is "All about my vagina", I guess he isn’t all bad. ;)
At least there are some decent people |

Sort of an uber-Liberal Valhalla, where liberals go to work themselves into a berserker rage before venturing forth to do battle This is by far one of the funniest lines I have read in a long time. And it’s funny because it’s true! |

Look, it takes a lot of energy to maintain a leftist mindset against all rational evidence. If we leftists didn’t have our echo chambers we’d be totally, like, lost. So lighten up a little. We won’t let up on you guys, of course. But cut us a break and we might at least, like, mention your blogs every now and then. |

LAT is excellent, can’t say enough good things about them. You don’t see too many Democrats that are as serious about foreign policy as that bunch these days.
Brad DeLong is a frustrating one. At his best, he’s clearly capable of erudite and insightful commentary. But for every post of that type, there’s a dozen more where he just quotes a long section from an article and tosses in a few throwaway partisan jabs at Republicans. It’s a shame, because I really would read him regularly if there were less of the latter and more of the former. As it stands, I just wait for other people to link to him when he says something interesting and then find the gold nuggets that way.
Yglesias has to win the Daylight Award for most cynically honest Democrat blogger. He’s worth reading occaisionally for that alone.
Plumer, Drum, PennyWit, Nyhan, and Marshall (in that order) are all worth reading too, but IMO the rest could be profitably ignored. |

I like to see posts like this.
It is VERY important to maintain balance in your reading. It keeps you honest and keeps you from looking as absurd and pathetic as the echo chambers that develop in various corners.
The funny thing about the blogosphere is, there’s less heat where there’s more light. |

Is there a good list somewhere (that’s actually constructive, like this one) of conservative blogs that liberals might want to read? |

Nothing can be funnier than the bub posts here.
As of CNOOC, China is beginning to use Washington "lobbyists" (nee Bagmen).
China has, for the last 60 years, pride herself for not being part of American political corruption. For 60 years China refused to bribe the greedy American pols. For that she paid a heavy price.
Only in America can you find such institutionized greed and corruption, that even Chinese commies have to pay to play in Washington.
Liberals, conservatives, they are all on the take. |

You seem to be unfamiliar with Atrios’ relationship with the DLC. Or his posts slamming the Dems who voted for the bankruptcy bill. I think what makes me think Atrios to be a better Instapundit than Instapundit is his ability to candidly admit he’s a left-wing hack. Glenn seems to have no ability to recognize his own right-wing hackitude.
The Taylor-Marcotte Pandagon took some getting used to, but I enjoy it. If you keep in mind they’re just two crazy kids (they’re both early 20s, I think) with a blog you’ll enjoy it.
You’re down on him but I love Billmon; he’s a master of creative invective, but he’s not just one-liners—when he’s on he’s basically writing column-length pieces. And you’re right about Praktike being awesome.
It isn’t mentioned above, but don’t forget to read Obsidian Wings every day; it’s the only blog I know of where the right and the left have managed to coexist for any length of time. |

it all over Pete Tong. Bye tong lu, we don’t care.Glenn seems to have no ability to recognize his own right-wing hackitude. Not true, if you read Glenn for even a day which I doubt you do then you would see that he spreads his discontentment fairly evenly. You fail to distinguish between Glenn’s libertarian leanings and the right in general. I am well aware of Atrios attempts to do a hachet job on Glenn. Atrios is famous for statements like this "Glenn is an ok guy except for believing in genocide". You are just spreading left blogo TPMs.master of creative invective and If you keep in mind they’re just two crazy kids So was I when I was 14, but I grew up since then.

Washington Monthly/Political Animal is a constant read for me; Kevin Drum is a thoughtful analyst who sometimes changes my mind on various issues.
The comment threads are interesting; there’s certainly no shortage of belligerent, illogical jerks, but there are also some extremely intelligent folks who are great for discussing/debating opposing perspectives if you can reach them through the noise. |

Kevin Drum is a bit of a conundrum for me, as he is usually well-informed (except on military issues, where he is thoroughly clueless), and he is generally above name-calling and pointless invective, but I cannot read the comments at his site without my blood pressure spiking. There is widespread criticism from lefties about the comments at LGF, but Kos, Eschaton, and Drum’s sane commenters are drowned out by the unhinged masses that dominate those fora.
Another good lefty writer (sober and thoughtful) who has not been mentioned so far is Gary Farber, at Amygdala (amygdalagf.blogspot.com). He is always cordial, a trait which is uncommon amongst many bloggers of either political stripe.

While midly amusing, it generally skipped the "funny because it’s true" angle, preferring instead outright snark and venom.
It took me about me all of 15 minutes to write, and honestly, I only thought one or two lines were all that funny. I think it got the play it did because it’s both a slow news time and because it’s one of those lists where everyone will find one or two things they find funny (and true) on it, if you’re a liberal.
As Scott Eiland remarked about Mithras, Mithras used to hang around Sasha Castiel’s blog comments with such pithy sayings as, "if it weren’t for rape, Republicans wouldn’t get any sex at all.".
Oh yeah, Eiland loves me from Sasha’s and Tacitus’ place. If I recall correctly, I directed the quoted comment at one person in particular. I was provoked, I assure you.
And I see he is still joining the pile-on of Atrios commentors requesting Malkin’s rape and murder (which is the only subject that Malkin comes up under on the comments section).
Huh? I really don’t want to parse all 160+ comments again, so can you direct me to where someone calls for Malkin to be raped and killed in my comments?

Good conservative blogs for liberals... ich, I’d love to help but it’s not easy to anticipate everything from the other side when you’ve not been using that filter all along. Still...
never miss Powerline ( powerlineblog.com )—true professionals in every sense of the word.
and for editorial cartoons daybyday—
http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/Default.aspx
—featuring a conservative black, a liberal girl (woman? in her 20’s, decide for yourself which is better) and two 40 year-olds who consider themselves to be political independents. Good fun, and you really need to check them out TODAY to help his sister (plug plug)

From there, you’re on your own. I can’t guarantee how hard these will be on liberal blood pressure, all I can promise is a reasonably low amount of endless irrational invective and bile. |

Steve Clemons: The Washington Note
Not on the left-wing, but as far as neoconservative Republicans are concerned, he’s a raving lunatic who clings to the old Realist outlook instead of embracing the grand new vision for upending the middle east establishment in a fantastic fireball of red white and blue freedom.
Great blogger, btw. He helped lead the charge against the nomination of John Bolton inside the beltway, which is arguably more important than playing "gotcha" with Dan Rather. |

Atrios (Duncan Black) is incapable of the reverse.
As someone who’s been reading Atrios for a couple of years, I haven’t found this to be the case at all. The "Wall of Shame" he erected for Dems who supported SS "reform" is one example. There are others.
Here’s a post calling the Democratic Party cowards and - in essence - traitors.
And here’s a post attacking the DLC. He’s also written fairly harsh criticisms of Biden, Lieberman, and other Dem luminaries, and heaped abuse on the heads of Dems who supported the Bankruptcy Act. Meanwhile, sentences like "Kudos to Voinovich for understanding the importance of maintaining the sytem of checks and balances" could certainly be construed as praise for a Republican.
Given these examples - none of which is unusual or unprecedented on Eschaton - I think it’s somewhat dishonest to claim that Atrios is "incapable" of criticizing Dems or praising Repubs.
Perhaps you should rephrase your criticism? Or is your hyperbole intended to make some larger point? |
