Some of you have asked for a brief rundown of the political sites I read (and cite) here at Heathen. In no particular order, the usual suspects include:

• Talking Points Memo, by Josh Marshall
• Slacktivist, whose current post comparing Bush and Blair is well worth reading
• Lawrence Lessig, on issues of copyright and law
• The Agonist, who publishes far faster than we can possibly keep up with
• Eschaton, by the pseudonymous Atrios
• Billmon’s Whisky Bar
• Groklaw, covering SCO v. IBM & related issues

There are, of course, countless other sources worthe perusing, typically written by thoughtful people and usually devoid of the kind of rancor and shouting that typifies broadcast media. Read on.
