Some good non-personal blogs that I like to read...

Kaus Files - politics - technically part of slate now but existed before as an independent site

Volokh Conspiracy - politics, law - libertarian law professors talk about stuff - these people are too smart for their own good

Instapundit - politics - another law prof talks random politics


fyi, this probably goes without saying, but I am not saying I agree with everything these guys say or that they necessarily reflect my own ideas (although they sometimes do), these are just the people I've found to be the most interesting/informative on a consistent basis (especially volokh).
