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 : )!
