Liberal Values: Wingnuts say the darndest things.

P.M. Carpenter: Obama's intellectually virtuous progressivism.

The Satirical Political Report: What Rand Paul might say at an Hispanic college.

Lance Mannion: Shakespeare and the scientists – a debate.

And if you missed them, here are a couple of posts of note over at my place: "Not a hope in hell for gun control" and "Why Obama's budget is a mistake."
