[edit] Rationalblogs
Blogs by RationalWikians under our affiliated project umbrella, Rationalblogs.
- Layperson's Terms by Radioactive afikomen. A blog that Radioactive Man was tricked into accepting. Has no single focus at the moment, but is consistently insightful.
- Mesolimbic pathway by Tmtoulouse. One of several blogs run by Tmtoulouse.
- Redundant Repetitions by Thunderkatz.
- Jellyblog by Jellyfish!. Covers whatever random stuff pops into Jellyfish's head. Not remotely serious.
[edit] Insignificant Non-RationalBlogs blogs
- A Turbonerd's Weblog, run by Linus, wherein he rants about anything that crosses his mind and harms himself for your entertainment.
- Small Time TV, run by User:EVDebs under the name BrianX, where he comments about liberalism, media, and life as a volunteer at a community access TV station. He likes to cook too.
- Vox in Deserto, run by User:AKjeldsen under the name Lanfranc, in which he presents findings of medieval scholarship, discusses relevant issues of the day, and occassionally quotes the Venerable Bede and other luminaries.
[edit] Politics
- Thanks to Andy for this: Michelle Malkin and her Ann Coulter-lite ramblings. She's not as hot as Ann Coulter either.
- A mole reports on the goings on aboard the National Review cruise.
- Pure Rhetoric, a website for Liberals and Conservatives. Good luck with that confused, USA-centric, piece of, um, chum. (boring)
- Dispatches from the Culture Wars, where writer and skeptic Ed Brayton talks about science, politics, and religion from a left-libertarian point of viewl
- Pandagon, left-wing US politics blog run by Jesse Taylor, Amanda Marcotte, and Pam Spaulding.
- The Huffington Post, a left-wing US politics blog run by former Republican activist Arianna Huffington. Notoriously woo-friendly (especially as regards Deepak Chopra and anti-vaccination activism), and a cautionary example of how politics and rationality do not always coincide.
