Taking a quick break from descent into cardboard box madness. Now seems like as good a time as any to update my portion of the blogroll. In no particular order:

1. Dear Leader seems to have taken a shining to us, and I’m happy to return the favor. Like the brilliant Louis Proyect, DL hits a pretty even split between interesting political analysis and teh awesome movie reviews.
2. The Mahatma X Files is the blog of a Bokononist High Priest* and real-life social psychologist with a lot of interesting stuff to say. (And crap, maybe violent video games really do increase aggressive behavior.)
3. Avedon Carol’s The Sideshow is a pretty famous blog, I gather, but I’ve only recently discovered it, and I think she rocks.
4. I know that PunkAssBlog has put out our official position paper on libertarians, but occasionally you do find a libertarian who walks the walk as well as, you know, saying “Taxation is theft!” and all that. Radley Balko’s The Agitator is a very entertaining and eye-opening blog that takes the side of the real-life victims of state fascism on a daily basis.
5. This Is So Gay is, don’t worry, actually written by someone who is, like, so gay. And smarter than me. In fact they’re probably all smarter than me, but The Promiscuous Reader is definitely smarter than me.
6. When it comes to 9/11 conspiracy theorists, Winter Patriot is hands-down my favorite.
7. Low-Tech Magazine is a non-Luddite rag with doubts about technology. They have lots of fun and fascinating articles, all of which pose variations on the question: “What if the most modern solution is not always the best solution?”
8. And finally, Chris Clarke of Coyote Crossing used to be a regular around these parts, back when Titans trod the Earth. He’s ostensibly a nature writer/blogger– well, okay, he is a nature writer/blogger– but somehow, it’s quite common when I read him to end up having my mind taken in an entirely unexpected direction. Which, I suppose, is one of the reasons some people are so drawn to the great outdoors. Anyway, he’s an outstanding writer, highly recommended.

All right, who else should I be reading? (When I get back to having time to read, that is. Because, after all, this computer’s about to go in a box…)

UPDATE: Oh yeah– forgot to say, feel free to blogwhore away…

*(Okay, the part about him being a High Priest is just foma.)
