[edit] RationalWiki alumni

Congrats to Ames and PalMD on hitting the big time!

• Denialism blog by Mark and Chris Hoofnagle and our own PalMD. A Scienceblog devoted to the denialist movement and its tactics.
• Submitted to a Candid World by AmesG. Covers progressive politics, rhetoric, and relevant parts of the anti-science movement.
• White Coat Underground by PalMD. Now-retired blog (PalMD relocated to the Denialism blog) covering medical quackery (oh, sorry, "alternative medicine").

[edit] Less prominent 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 occasionally quotes the Venerable Bede and other luminaries.
• Unleashing Chiang, a blog run by User:Researcher (under the name Frosty) and his buddy Slim Charles. Mostly foreign policy and politics, but includes many other topics too.

[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.

[edit] Science

• The Millenium Project by Peter Bowditch, an Australian site focusing heavily on medical woo (particularly anti-vaccination activism) and multilevel marketing fraud
• The Nondiscovery blog, which follows the Discovery Institute and creationism/ID
• The Panda's Thumb, focus on the evolution, creation and intelligent design debate
• Pharyngula by PZ Myers, biology, politics and religion from one of the blogosphere's more outspoken atheists and rationalists

[edit] Specific posts
