Readers: what posts/articles have you read lately that you found particularly interesting?
n.b. some of the posts above refer to highly contentious stoush-storms in the blogosphere, and those comment threads may be full of content that would not be approved for publication here. While I expect that various commentors are likely to find themselves in oppositional viewpoints on some issues, those stoushes should not be replayed blow by blow on LP, and comments that rely solely on rehashed arguments from elsewhere are likely to be deleted.
Now that our Billy Tea Party conservatives are lining up behind Rick Perry’s bid for the US presidency it’s time for the rest of us to catch up on the case of Bradley Todd Willingham [extremely unpleasant reading warning].
Thanks for including my link here.. in such a great list, too.
dear editor
it beats me why discerning tea partiers pass over a sensible, straight-talking right-wing extremist, like ron paul, in favor of a rigid, stupid, lying poser of a right-wing extremist, like rick perry. or bachmann, for goodness sake. apart from being too soft for ‘em, at least ron paul’s call to withdraw the usa military from abroad & close down its overseas bases, would put a serious dent in their damned budget overhang, once & for all. you’d think that would please ‘em.
and as for ron paul on repealing nafta, say no more.

Regarding the state of the GOP, perhaps especially in its current tea partier-dominated format, here’s some fun reading. No one who matters will ever read it.
dear GregA
