This is a list of some of my favorite independent blogs and bloggers. (Some of them are not so independent now, having been snatched up by online forums, but here they will remain until such time they grow into a media empire unto themselves.) The list is a bit of a hodge podge, which is just how I like it. I don’t read just one kind of thing or one kind of writer. Every blog here has merit, in my estimation, whether it is to inform, challenge, amuse, or provide a snapshot of American life.
