I keep finding interesting places out there.
I was looking for information on drinking ages around the world, and I found Chris O'Brien's Beer Activist Blog ("Drink beer. Save the World"). Then I stopped, read The Dog Flies to Frederick. No Shit. And I was hooked.
At Freedom Democrats I discovered that not all the folks leaning into the Libertarian movement are leaning out of the Republican wing of the Demopublicans. That's a good thing. Try Shifting Sovereignty for an appetizer.
From the Barrel of a Gun is edgy and pragmatic at the same time. I love Simon just for coming up with "fuckwittery," a very descriptive term that I'm sure I'll use occasionally when I'm sure I know what it means. Boys will be Boys gives you a flavor of this one.
My favorite find (I appear to be operating alphabetically tonight) is Becky's Just a Girl in Short Shorts Talking About Whatever. You'll see it quoted (including her profile description) in the post below, so I won't belabor that. Her political analysis is fresh, well-written, and hard to argue with (though I'm sure that in the case of Romney is a Heartless Bastard Dave Burris would take a stab at it). She is particularly perceptive about The Good Barack Obama's Constitution.
Libertarian Leanings comes from a recent primary state: "Ruminations of a New Hampshire Republican with decidedly libertarian leanings." Dominated over the past few days, as you might imagine, by the big primary, but read his Turning of the Tide for a solid argument (via Ralph Peters) that Al Qaeda is in worse shape than anybody thinks.
I have mentioned Medical Futility several times already in different posts. This is Dr. Thaddeus Pope's tracking of cases at the edge of medical capability. Two recent (and absolutely essential posts): Does Cigna Deserve All the Blame? (the Nataline Sarkysan case) and Unpleasant Suggestions for Rationing (to which i've already called your attention). Be forewarned: Dr. Pope is writing far more for his peers in the field than for the casual reader; it can be heavy sledding at times, but I check it on a regular basis.
The rest of the update tomorrow.
