I find myself FEELING political for the first time in my middle-aged life. I'll leave my personal politics out of the post, but for great analysis of the players and peoples in this newly reshaped world, I find myself checking out
The Whiskey Bar and
Juan Cole's "Informed Comment" on a regular basis.
As far as music, I often tune into
BBC6 Music from my small cube in NH to hear fresh tunes from across the pond.
And for pure silly distraction, a daily visit to
Dave Barry's Blogspot often raises a smile or two.
