do you need links on Politics?

Well, here they are anyway. First of all, the must-reads, which have become daily obsessions for me:

• The Talking Points Memo weblog by Joshua Micah Marshall (who writes for the Washington Monthly and elsewhere)


• Altercation (like a weblog but on MSNBC, weird.) by Eric Alterman
  (the author of What Liberal Media?) and occassional pinch hitters who also score well


• Finally, Howard Kurtz provides an excellent survey of current political articles from across the spectrum (both online and paper-based) called Media Notes

A few interesting blogs that I've been meaning to check out (more of):

• Lawrence Lessig innovator in cyberlaw


• George Kelly
  born in DC, lives in Oakland


• Matt Welch is one of the people who started that English language newspaper in Prauge (Prognosis did anyone else read about it in Details?)


• Who else? You tell me!

By the way, it seems that Alterman critiques Kurtz in his book, and Welch disses Alterman regularly. I wonder what Donahue thinks?

A couple other recent politico links of note:

• From the Washington Post, in proof that incompetence does not inspire confidence, the Bushistas are Bush is not hot with all hawks


• Bill Moyers on flag-wearing.
