angledgeThis one won't be of interest to many of my LJ-friends, but you still ought to check it out. Paul Burka is the senior executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine (which, incidently, is a fantastic magazine). His BurkaBlog covers Texas politics from a deeply experienced, liberal perspective.
The best part, though, is that sometimes other informed people comment intelligently on his posts! For instance, he recently posted about the possibility that Texas will soon issue a license plate with the Confederate flag on it. Issuing license plates (somehow) falls under the purview of the General Land Office in Texas, & one of the commenters on the post was the GLO Commissioner himself! Other posters had informed comments regarding Civil War history. Of course, you get a selection of idiotic commenters from the left & the right, but.... there is some intelligent discussion.
More of this please, internets!
