perfidy

The main Ministry computer is off taking care of its own private matters today (note to self: buy helmet and JDAM), so I have been deputized to take care of some Ministry business in its stead.

So... ladies and gentlemen, if you will direct your attention to the left-hand side of your screen, you will see that the Ministry welcomes two new weblogs to the blogroll, Patton's Opinion8, and Tyler Cowen's Marginal Revolution. The latter, being an econoblog, is a sop to Minister Ross' penchant for numbers and the games they play.

One further note.... "Calpundit" is now "Political Animal." Same Kevin Drum, slick new high-end digs.

You may notice that, on the whole, the blogroll skews decidedly rightward. Part of that stems from Founding Minister Buckethead's conservative predelictions, and my own less fervently held centrism (which Buckethead describes as 'drifting in the great Brownian sea of the American center'), but the rest of the story is that many lefty bloggers just ain't that great, and if they're sometimes great, they ain't funny (notable exceptions include Norbizness and certain members of Crooked Timber and Begging to Differ). Can anybody recommend some great and funny leftward bloggers?

This concludes Ministry business for today. Your compliance is appreciated. Indeed, it is expected.
