Liza's Favorite Blogs

Yeah! Bejata is back!

I first wrote about Bejata back in 2006 but Bernard is back from a blog hiatus, so it's time for an update.

Bernard has one of the most corageous, provocative yet heart-warming series written on any blog, Black Gay Men at Midlife.

If it is not easy being a gay black man in America, it can be twice as hard for those reaching middle age. Bernie with this series seeks to expose those stories but what he also does is to expose the misconceptions, hypocrisies and ageism that exist within the black gay community and use that opportunity to start a dialogue about "what's next".

Check out the whole series. Another favorite? His sports archives. You're going to have a hell of a blog ride.

HQ of the indefatigable David Swanson, "After Downing Street is a nonpartisan coalition working to expose the lies that launched the war (and the one that keeps it going) and to hold accountable its architects through impeachment."

oh hai! I cants has enuf cheezburgers or lolcats, ok? ok bye-bye bbs.

The Internet is rife with memes but publishing funny pictures of cats and lacing them with IMPACT-fonted headlines in lolspeak is probably one of most fundamentally viral pop narratives on the web.

This goes well beyond dancing gerbils, fetish sites about girls eating sandwiches or pseudo anime lolspeak.

LOLcats are da bomb!

Bill Hing, Jennifer Chacón and Kevin Johnson do a bang up job at keeping us up-to-date with the latest on immigration law here in the United States. Definitely a must read.

MyLeftwing is published by the fearless Maryscott O'Connor, one of the few diarists from DailyKos to successfully go solo.

MLW is a site with a no holds barred attitude against Republicans but their ire is unabashedly unleashed against the conservative and even moderates of the Democratic party.

MLW is like a punk band, fast, furious and very metal. Maryscott is like a cross between Exene Cervenka (when she's in a good mood) and Sid Vicious (when she's really pissed off).

I am HUGE fan of this site and their publisher. They are truly the soul of the left in the netroots.

By far the best independent news site on the web. All they're missing is the edition printed on dead trees. Published by wunderkid, John Byrne.

Michael Rogers has become turned his blog into the bane of every closeted gay Republican's existence.

People who think Michael outs closeted gay Republicans for sport, should think again. He does it because he truly believes that anybody who votes for anti-gay legislation and takes money from the extreme right all the while having sex with men is a menace, nay, a pox on not just the gay community but all of society as well.

I love him for every single "I'm not gay" utterance coming from the extreme right. They deserve to have a Michael Rogers on their asses.

In contrast to its economic equivalent, the measure of cultural capital has long eluded artists, activists, and intellectuals. Studies indicate that the growth of cultural capital is primarily concentrated in several distinct areas of political action we call "emerging markets." By encouraging the open exchange of ideas in these areas, RTMARK allows for innovative market research. RTMARK has developed the first software platform for real-time cultural capital trends analysis, built on an open-source, social networks model. With the launch of its flagship product, Protester(TM), RTMARK will become the first and only company to measure the dynamic growth of cultural, rather than economic, capital.

With a slogan that says, "Collaborative Media for the Masses", ePluribus Media excels as a cooperative of citizen volunteers dedicated to researching issues of common concern and encouraging the highest standards of ethics and journalism.
