Whooooeee! Since that last post seemed to actually work, I am going to keep going, introducing you folks to some of my favorite blogs and catching up on some of the great material I have read in the past several months.
Brad Delong is a very smart economist out of Berkeley who writes clearly and intelligibly about current and historical economic issues, as well as politics, the media and computer stuff.
One of his posts from a couple of months ago really highlights the power of the internet and of blogs more generally. Placing two columns by Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland side by side, he eviscerates Hoagland and points out the inconsistency and "two-faced" nature of the U.S. press corps. There are several bloggers out there doing good work on the pathetic work that passes for journalism in the U.S. , but Delong and Bob Somerby at Daily Howler are among the best.
