Introduction

I run several other blogs that focus on a variety of political issues. One is focused on the Chicago area, specifically Will County, and contains items written by me. Another is a mix of bits about various cities in the US, written by various people and edited by me. I also monitor and comment on several other blogs.

This one however is meant to be a compilation of the best stuff out there each day. It is meant to be higher volume than my other blogs and to cover a wider political spectrum, including a stronger focus on national issues. I will attempt not to show my political leanings in my selection. I tend to be somewhat libertarian, although I do think under some circumstances the government can be an effective provider of services.
