Links Added

I decided to add some links of the web pages I visit most often. I identify with the political "right", but many times I'll read the left just to get some perspective and to keep up to date on the latest talking points that the left likes to use. It's amazing how in step the left can be, there must be some huge communication process so they can all stay on the same topic, for example Talking Points Memo by Joshua Micah Marshal . PETA must really hate this guy because he can beat a dead horse better than anyone (would PETA care if the horse was dead before one started beating it?). For the past few weeks he has been all over the Abramoff scandal and linking him to the Republican Party and the White House. There is a couple of problems in the left's hope that this will bring down GW.

1. The Bush Justice Department was the one that brought the charges to the grand jury.
   
2. It looks like Abramoff, like most lobbyists, played both sides of the aisle, and if he didn't I'm sure that there are others out there paying for all the political junkets that Harry Ried takes (or the sweetheart land deals his family took advantage of in Las Vegas).

In any event the Left, for the most part is rather boring, with the exception of the five I have links to (Estrich, Corn, Ivins, Kinsley and Moore). Even though I don't agree with them on virtually any issue, these five offer an original perspective. Yes, occassionally silly, but at least they aren't retreading the same talking points you read on 95% of liberal blogs. Susan Estrich is quite good, she can really frame an arguement that it becomes easy to see her point of view.
