20. I don't - but I ought to... I often read his material
when it is linked to the two I listed. The other two I read infrequently (but should read more) but often keep up with through Josh and Atrios = Laura Rozin's WarandPiece.com

14. Sic Semper Tyrannis! Absolutely ESSENTIAL if you want understand the U.S. war in the ME.
Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 08:08 PM by scarletwoman
http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/

Anyone who wants to understand what's really happening in the ME should also be reading Juan Cole daily: http://www.juancole.com/

I also regularly check into http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/ -- "Syria Comment"

And, http://abuaardvark.typepad.com/

For all around commentary (in no particular order):

http://atrios.blogspot.com/
http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/
http://driftglass.blogspot.com/
http://redstateson.blogspot.com/
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/blogs/wolcott
http://bageant.typepad.com/
http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/
http://www.glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/
http://alicublog.blogspot.com/

Worthy of special mention: http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/ -- another daily must read!

For high quality snark:
http://tbogg.blogspot.com/
http://www.sadlyno.com/
http://www.thepoorman.net/

There are several more sites where I make regular stops to see what they what they have to say, but the above are the ones I most often frequent. While DU will always be home, I find the blogosphere absolutely indispensable.

25. All the regulars.... C&L, AmericaBlog, TPM, Kos, Atrios, Digby, Media Matters, Think Progress....
HuffPo, Glenn Greenwald, Wolcott, Jesus' General, Juan Cole.

Not: Kevin Drum (because Amy Sullivan's democrats-hate-religion idiotic rants piss me off), and firedoglake (bores the hell out of me).

26. ummm...so many, and so little time!
Andrew Sullivan - a conservative going through the "change of life"
TalkLeft
Glenn Greenwald - but I really need to print him off, he's kinda long onscreen for aging eyes.
Crooks & Liars
Martini Republic
Smirking Chimp - but why do chimps get such a bad name? All they do is fling their shit when they're unhappy!?
