Nah, I'm not on the loony left. Only compared to the equally loony right <g>.

Have not heard of Chris Rea. I haven't been keeping up with new music much. Last night I placed a music order with Amazon for the first time in a while, and what was it for? "The Envoy" and "Stand in the Fire" by Warren Zevon, which have FINALLY made it to CD. Along with an oral history (book) of WZ that comes out next week. That should be entertaining.


>Thought you'd get a kick out of it <s> You have to admit it is worth reading Buckley in National Review if only to read the only person who can use lexiphanic and sesquapedalian in the same sentence with a straight face. ( and remember, Buckley is also the guy who wrote that during the height of homophobic hysteria at the State Department in the cafeteria no man would be seen eating a hot dog except like an ear of corn <g> )

>I'm surprised, actually, at how much I enjoy the Weekly Standard. No advertising, has a definite conservative POV but not the nutjob kind, terrific writing and, best of all, the best book reviews ( mostly history ) I've ever seen anywhere.

>Have you gone so far over to the LL that you have to look to the right to see the New Republic ? <s>

>Hey, re music - do you know Chris Rea ? Definitely check him out.

>>>http://littlegreenfootballs.com is fun
>>>http://drudgereport.com/ has links to an amazing number of things and is the fastest way to find Krauthammer's column and if you really want the venom-tongue of the right, Ann Coulter writes outrageously and takes no prisoners.

>>>You can find Dick Morris from there as well. I don't know if you are familiar with him, but he's a political hired gun who really knows how the game of American politics is played and bailed the Clintons out more than once ( Arkansas and after the 1994 disaster ) He is fun to read as he is more technical than partisan, but knows the players very well - pretty much believes Hillary should never be allowed back in the White House - even as a guest <s>

>>>Weekly Standard http://www.weeklystandard.com/ The American Spectator http://www.spectator.org/ and National Review http://www.nationalreview.com/ are three of the more interesting magazines on the right.

>>>>Hi All. Does anyone have suggestions for political news websites? This would be websites that deal exclusively with political issues and not just a sub-section of a more general news site such as CNN.com. As an example: www.epolitix.com for UK political news. Any favourites?
