Website Profiles (first in a series)

I’m going to start profiling some of my favorite websites every day, in hopes that some of you will enjoy the same writing I do. Today I’d like to mention a couple of political sites I enjoy.

The first is Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish, at http://www.andrewsullivan.com. Andrew considers himself a conservative, though these days I’d classify him as more of a “libertarian” than a “conservative”. He’s constantly chastising the Bush administration over various threats to individual freedom, and really concerned about Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I agree with a lot of it. More importantly, though, he’s really focused at debating the issues, instead of getting side-tracked over personal squabbles, ad hominem attacks, and the other “rubbish” you see from most political commentary.

Another one of my favorites is Chris Geidner’s Law Dork blog, at http://lawdork.blogspot.com. Chris is a law student at Ohio State University, and he has a lot of interesting things to say. He writes some commentary about legal issues and political issues. His viewpoint is a bit further to the left than Andrew Sullivan, but again he writes with facts and clear argumentation. Chris and I also have a wacky bunch of things in common, which makes it fun to read about what he’s thinking.

Tomorrow I’ll try and profile a couple technology sites.
