New Sections: "Thought of the Day" and "People Worth Knowing"

I'm unveiling two new "sections" in the next few days that will transform this blog into an even more fascinating thing to read. I call them "sections" because they will be a little different than my usual in-depth investigation posts.

The first is "Thought of the Day" which will be updated very regularly and will be a paragraph or two on my thoughts on the politics or world events of the day.

The second is "People Worth Knowing" and it will briefly introduce to the reader a person or persons in politics worth knowing and will make you more versed in the importance of knowing who is who when discussing our national government.

For those of you who don't like the long investigative posts, this will be a welcome addition. Also, I'm working on connecting this blog to a Facebook Page which will allow those without Google accounts to know when the blog is being updated and stay connected. The "Like" option will be on the upper right of the page, and all posts on this blog will be linked to the Facebook Page as well.

Thanks for continuing to read!

Why/what P.L.? WTF vs?

Ah the consequence of conversation. Something to cause the creation of some awful blog with yet another awful unclear name (like FDL... wtf?). So in lieu of having an even more arbitrary title, I decided upon PL.

This stands for Philosophical Liberalism or, if you like, Political Liberalism, and the lack of clarity on this distinction is intentional. The idea highlights the problem inherent with trying to reconcile the openness or even relativism of most philosophical liberal belief and the often uncompromising arrogance of leftist political thought. Which of these is being expressed and what they are, in fact, versus, is what this blog will hopefully be about.

I follow politics, so most of what will be followed here is political news, hopefully with a sarcastic or humorous spin (occasionally, perhaps, angry). I also like weather and other random interesting gossip, movies, video games, environmentalism etc. so there should be some variation in topics. 538 is my absolute favorite blog, followed by Jeff Masters @ wunderground so look no further for substantial nerdery. To the 3+ people who tune in (am I being too generous?), enjoy : )!
