davidschrothI had dinner tonight at Broder's with my former volleyball teammates Dick Nelson, Mabel Nelson, Paul Zbaracki, and Lucinda Zbaracki. At some point the conversation drifted onto the current and future state of newspapers. Dick opined that the Times had five years left before it folded, an opinion I was surprised to hear coming from him. Paul was still firmly committed to newsprint. And I had given up on newspapers altogether.
So Dick and Paul wanted to know where I got my news. Blogs, I replied. They were very skeptical, but their view of blogs didn't really seem to encompass the blogs I use. I told them I'd send along the list of blogs I read for news, so I decided to post it here first.
1) The Sideshow (http://sideshow.me.uk/) - I've found more good blogs through Avedon than I can count.
2) Eschaton (http://www.eschatonblog.com/) - I still find Atrios a must-read.
3) Talking Points Memo (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/)
4) Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (http://econ161.berkeley.edu/movable_type/) - For a little while after I read this one, I feel like I understand economics. The feeling soon passes.
5) The Washington Monthly (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/) Kevin is probably more centrist than I'd like, but what can I say - Friday Cat Blogging!
6) Making Light (http://www.nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/)
7) Orcinus (http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/) I really wish David and Sara would post more in Orcinus, rather than in all the other places they post at in the blogosphere.
8) Schneier on Security (http://www.schneier.com/blog/) Good security info, and even better - Friday Squid Blogging!
9) Firedoglake (http://firedoglake.com/) - A very good collection of Progressive bloggers.
10) Hullabaloo (http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/) - The phrase "What Digby said" is ubiquitous for a reason.
11) Lance Mannion (http://lancemannion.typepad.com/) - usually interesting.
12) Pharyngula (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/) - Minnesota biology professor takes on Intelligent Design as well as organized religion.
13) Econbrowser (http://www.econbrowser.com/) - Serious economists usually leave me boggled.
14) EconoSpeak (http://econospeak.blogspot.com/) - A different economics blog
15) Boing Boing (http://www.boingboing.net/) Fun for nerds and geeks.
So, what blogs do you read regularly?
