I read a variety of political blogs, mostly left-leaning but a few more centrist and right, just so that I get a feel for everything that’s out there.
One of the blogs that I love the most is Bull Moose, not least because of the name. But what really keeps me coming back is that the perspective–a liberal christian democrat–is one that is near and dear to my heart, and that the prose is always light-hearted even in the heaviest of issues. This last point jumped out at me from a recent post:
The ugly truth is that if Jesus of Nazareth himself returned and dared to run on the Democratic line the righteous right would tar him as a bleeding heart vagabond who couldn’t hold a job and that he needed a shave. No doubt a Galilee Fishingboat Veterans for Truth outfit would call into question Jesus’ miracle claims – financed with lavish funding from Rove’s buddies in Texas and maximum exposure on Fox News. Just imagine the book – ‘Unfit to Save’.
It’s funny because it’s true.
