Ahem. Plug here.
Ultra liberal blog. So biased I feel a bit ashamed at times when I consider what I should be doing -- not remaining wholly entrenched in viewpoints similar to my own, branching out. Yet I read it religiously. Really, while it offers substance (as I'm sure its counterparts do), it is no more than a staunch political safe-haven profusely bleeding Dem-blue. I love it, I really do.
Then there's Huff-Po, an online must (my humble opinion). I tried the Daily Kos and came up disinterested -- I think it's the website layout. I find it difficult and uninviting, and apparently I am the only one. LOL

Since I'm doing the political thing here, I'll admit I like Peggy Noonan. She's said some things I don't agree with, she's fundamentally Republican, but there is an obvious intelligence to her. It comes off as inherent and elegant, yet there's nothing 'soft' about her views -- they seem extremely well-thought out. Definitive disagreements with her don't inspire bellicosity, just an honest difference of opinion, of thought. It's rather disarming -- she must be a pain to debate. ^^
I have similar thoughts about Ed Rollins. He's so measured in his approach on TV. Rollins doesn't lend himself to caricature because, I think, he doesn't see it as the most persuasive road to political conversion. That's just me, though. Eh. Again, I don't agree with him politically -- hell, I even remind myself to be leery due to his status as a Republican strategist (strategists of all shades are, well, shady by definition). However I respect his opinion due to the way he seems to come at things.
That's it. Just out and about thinking. At 6 AM. Sigh. I woke up at 3.

What am I listening to now? Nothing. Let me scroll through my sansa to see
what music fires me up today...
Ah, here it is: *Guy Farley's Main Theme 01, off the "Cashback"
soundtrack. A song like falling snow, like twilight and moon
through a sea of trees. So, not really a fire -- no rage in the senses here. Hmm,
I wonder how long this will last?

I generally avoid the really political blogs - at least, I don't think Jezebel counts - but begin each day with fivethirtyeight and electoral-vote because it's nice to start the day with a smile :)
At one time I did too, but as you can see the election has CHANGED me. Heehee. FiveThirtyEight, Electoral-vote and Jezebel, huh? I've heard of the first and the latter but I'll give all three a go. Who doesn't need more to read? ^^
How are you doing, chicka?
Pretty good, generally.
electoral-vote isn't as pretty as fivethirtyeight, but I like to see how the projections of the two compare. Jezebel is the Gawker media empire's feminist branch - celebrities, politics, random news.
I'm so obsessed by the election that I'm taking the day after off so I can stay up late watching the returns and still get up the next day :)
