While we all have quite disparate views, clearly several of us are Political Junkies.

I've heard a number of this guy's commentaries/call-ins, all focusing on data, not any particular political agenda. Now he has a blog, and I'm sure many of you might appreciate his command of political history at the very least.

The Political Junkie

Enjoy.

Perhaps others will offer more insightful looks.

Obviously they are closer relations to each other than their rank and file membership. Cliched frankly.
I like the trawing approach of the News Junkie. He seems to catch more bottom feeders that way.

As a matter of fact, NPR is the only radio station I listen to. I love it too :-) . Must be because I'm a crypto pinko commie-lovin' good for nuffin' leftie  .

Although for former NY Dem. Gov. Eliot Spitzer, it was paying $4000 a pop for sex with a high end prostitute.

Talk about poor negotiating skills! But at least it was with his own money, not the taxpayers'.

         I'm sure there is, Ven, but I wouldn't know where to find them.  Rehab is for quitters

      And it doesn't say anything about the institutional biases of NPR, that it fits so comfortably into your worldview, Kitten?

Status: offline 		        Thanks for the link, Muse, but I'm tapering down to the local stuff for a while.  "Smoking homegrown," so to speak.  We have one total moron in a commissioner's seat, in my part of the world, who has to go if that means recalling half the city council.

      Speaking of recalls, it seems our governator has forgotten that it was tripling the car tax that fired the last guy and put him in office to begin with. 

       No doubt the incoming administration will get my blood boiling soon enough.
