Blogs I Follow

A friend recently asked me for a list of blogs I read regularly. I think the easiest way to provide that is by posting the links from my GoogleReader on here (recognizing that we don't have a blogroll here). This list isn't exhaustive, it's just what I have in my Reader. For example, I read Daily Kos everyday but it's not in my reader because I enjoy browsing the user-added diaries. I also read FiveThirtyEight once in a while because Nate Silver is pretty good. And so on. So here are the blogs/feeds I have in Reader (note that all the links are to the feeds--I don't feel like altering all of them to take you to the blog proper) and, if the title isn't self-explanatory, a brief note:
