Ezra Klein confirmed something...

...in his blog today that I have long suspected: I'm weird. 

According to Klein (his emphasis): 

If you're reading Wonkbook right now, you're really, really weird. You start your day with a policy e-mail. That's not how most Americans do it. And if you're weird, think about how weird I am: I start my day by writing a policy e-mail. 

But Wonkblog is a really good blog. In fact, it's the best blog on policy that I've found (and I'm open to suggestions). 

(Oh, and by the way, if I'm weird for reading Klein's blog, what does that make you for reading mine? Just sayin'.) 

Some other blogs I read on a daily basis are: 

The Fix, by Chris Cillizza (the best blog on politics I've found). The Fix is also in the Washington Post. (If they ever erect a paywall, I'd pay --- Shhh!

The Conscience of a Liberal, by Paul Krugman in the New York Times (the best economics blog I've found). 

The Dish, by Andrew Sullivan (the best general interest blog). 

And, finally... 

David Frum, which is also on the Daily Beast. Frum is the last of a dying breed, a moderate Republican. It's interesting to read his take on the modern-day GOP. 

I read a few others, but if anyone out there has something that I should be looking at, please let me know.
