The neo-liberal bible, plus a superior arts section.
The neo-conservative bible. Good, damn good.
A slightly lighter and less hawkish version of the New Republic.
Centrist magazine that gives its writers the freedom
and space to develop interesting ideas that you won't read elsewhere.
Mark Steyn is just one writer, but he produces more
articles than most magazines. Proves that conservatives can be pop culture literate.
The American version of the Economist. Just solid news coverage.
The English version of the Christian Science Monitor. Pompous and
snide, but don't pretend you don't like it.
The godfather of Internet humor.
Raunchy, prejudiced, and nasty, nothing has ever
made me laugh as hard as Seanbaby. Sadly, no longer updated, but
there's plenty there to keep you occupied.
Daily spoofs of the news - no one is as consistently funny. And
Borowitz is a really nice person to boot.
Now defunct news parody site, but the archives are
still hilarious.
James Lileks as a more political version of Dave
Barry. That's meant as a compliment.
Dirty parodies of airplane instructional graphics.
Bill Simmons is not only an insightful observer of sports, he's
also one of the world's leading experts on trashy TV shows.
I know it's wrong to laugh at the Japanese, but it feels so right!
James Taranto is glib, unfair, and misleading, and also one
of the funniest and sharpest writers around.
One of my major pet peeves is how worthless much of our academic system is. Erin O'Connor, who teaches English at UPenn, does a good job pointing out a lot of the BS in the academic world.
UChicago Prof Daniel Drezner on
foreign policy and economics.
Professor Tim Burke, the nexus between video games
and African history. If more professors were like Burke, I'd be in grad school right now.
Is it wrong that I find liberal arguments
most convincing when they are made by a lobster and a giblets and a fafnir?
Frequently criticized as a political gossip column written
by a snarky waffler - but how exactly is that a bad thing?
Chief of the foreign policy hawk/domestic
libertarian blogs.
Matthew Yglesias is arrogant, condescending,
and obnoxious. Regrettably, he's also extremely smart, which makes him
worth reading even though he is infuriating.
Rhodes Scholars hold forth on
foreign policy.
Kevin Drum's blog at the Washington Monthly. In my
opinion, the best liberal blog around.
The inspiration for this - and probably a thousand other -
sites.
A series of tremendously helpful CSS tutorials.
Type in a color, and it shows you its matching colors.
Very useful for those of us who are color blind...
