For a change of pace, let’s talk about Donald Luskin’s weblog, The Conspiracy to Keep You Poor and Stupid<\/a>. This is one of the few political blogs I am willing to read on any regular basis. Luskin’s is nobody’s demagogue, but he himself is very smart, as are the people who share information with him.<\/p>\n

The site is kludgey, built who knows how. The permalinks are crap — as is the case with many older political blogs.<\/p>\n

But: So what? Luskin has the inside track, especially on economics, and his writing, while sometimes very dense, is always engaging.<\/p>\n

There are constantly-updated Tradesports lines, although Luskin has nothing good to say about Tradesports lately. The irregular “Joke of the Day” feature can be outrageously funny.
