This is not about my favorite books (although if you haven’t read Andy Weir’s “The Martian”  stop right now and get a copy). This is about the blogs I make time to read even when my time is overcommitted. These must read blogs cover politics, science, atheism and often a combination of the three. In no particular order:

• The Politics Blog by Charles P. Pierce. His incisive, biting, observations of the American political landscape are in a class of their own. I often wonder if he’s channeling Molly Ivans.

• The Rude Pundit by Lee Papa is even more acerbic than “The Politics Blog” by CPP.

• Freethought Blogs is a home for many talented freethinkers and atheists. Including

  • Pharyngula by P.Z. Myers who covers biology and atheism.

  • Dispatches from the Culture Wars by Ed Brayton covers religions impact on society and our criminal justice system.

• XKCD is “A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”. If you like the TV show “The Big Bang Theory” you should be reading XKCD.

• Science-Based Medicine focuses questionable medical practices; especially, but not limited to, quackery like homeopathy.
