Maybe that tells you something about the other side. I check regularly the New Yorker, Slate, Salon, the New Republic (by far the best of the bunch, but not available for free), even Commonweal. Personally I seldom find stuff I deem interesting, and I suspect there is a reason: by and large the left has given up on fundamental questions, and is absorbed by short-term political concerns (while the underlying philosophical trend has been essentially nihilistic). This is the same reason why I almost never find anything interesting in National Review (have you noticed?) Anyway, I am open to suggestions; what I read is listed in the left column.
I sympathize with Damien to a degree... I think this blog is inadvertently taking on a right wing tone of alarmism and dour spirits... the opposite of what Crossroads is...

Let me ask something, do you read something more than extreme right magazines? Always that is the only things posted.
