The blogosphere has become my first source for news. Well, second; I listen to NPR on the way to work in the morning.

But I always hit InstaPundit, Neal Boortz, and PowerLine to see what’s going on, then follow links to “legitimate” news sources. I can’t believe I just wrote that. I don’t know of any more legitimate news sources than those sites. Well, Drudge is on my list, but I can’t access his site at work.

Any time I have some free time during the day, I also stroll through the bits and electrons to see what’s happening at other sites. Most I visit share my right-of-center perspective. Not all. I won’t point out the others, and will let you find them yourselves if you dare click on any links.

You won’t see any hard-core leftists there. I don’t visit them. It isn’t worth the trouble. I’ve run into several at other sites in the comments sections, and they have nothing of value to add to any conversation. That is simply because they either do nothing but sling insults, or have one point and pound it incessantly.

There are a lot of talented writers out there, and some very creative folks. And there are some who are both talented writers and creative.

For those of you who have not yet found this eccentric leftist, let me introduce you to Larry Chomstein, an obvious pseudonym used to protect him from the neo-Nazis and neocons who run this country. “Liberal Larry” takes a story beyond the obvious headlines to find the nuance lurking below. His deft fingers pound out the evil from any biased mainstream report by such paragons of the right as Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, and Maureen Dowd, and reveals the soft, liberal truths hidden within.

He can be tough when necessary. Like today when he explains, clearly, why Bush can never be truly reverential.

We were blessed to have had a president in Bill Clinton who was able to put his hand on the Bible and say “So help Me God”, and not be fanatical enough in his religious beliefs to actually mean it.

And people who visit his site also have the inate intelligence and total grasp of history to help him out when he strays, ever so slightly off course.

(BTW, the religion stuff is in the Bill of Rights, not the 2nd amendment.)

To gain a true perspective on the nuances in this election, you must visit.
