What you should be reading

No. Not actual literature or in-depth political essays. Nothing that high brow.

I'm talking about blogs you should be reading. Only, of course, if you are into the kind of smack that these folks are talking. And I don't mean the daily reads that I have on my blogroll (which I really need to update) down below. I mean topic-specific blogs that, for some reason or another, I have decided to keep to myself. I thoroughly enjoy reading all of them, and that should be a major consideration on your part to start reading them. Because, after all, I'm your style guru.

Politics
Do you like your politics a little bit left of center? Were you happy with the way that the past election panned out (well, for the most part)? If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, then give the kids over at The Savvy, The Extremist & The Idealist a look see. What started as a collaboration of three individuals is now a the place for seven unique contributors to discuss their political ideals. And the masthead alone is worth checking out.

Baseball
Well, and sports in general. But mostly baseball. Check out Joe Posnanski, sports writer for the Kansas City Star. His stuff is always entertaining, and he knows just about as much about pop culture trivia as anyone I know. His latest entry on the makeup of the Baseball Hall of Fame is a must read for anyone interested in the subject. And by anyone, I mean you. Very interesting to see how long it took some of baseball's all-time greats to gain induction. Well, interesting to me at least.

Sex
Yeah, you read that right. Sex. It sells, it yearns, it needs, it feeds, it wants. Sex. Sorry, went off on a tangent there for a moment. I've been a proponent of this woman's blog since, well...before I really even knew what a blog was. Her name is Violet Blue and in addition to her Tiny Nibbles blog, she writes for the San Francisco Chronicle among many, many other projects. And I have more than a little crush on her. A crush endorsed by Gia, just in case you were wondering. Be careful. This one is definitely NSFW.

Horror Films
I've only recently discovered Stacie Ponder and her Final Girl blog, but I've been wondering where she was in my life for just about ever. Ms. Ponder also writes for AMC's website every Wednesday in the Horror Hacker column. So, do you like films like Poltergeist III a little more than you should? How about sitting down and enjoying a crappy 80's slasher flick, even though you know it really sucks? Yeah? Then you have found soul mates in both me and in Stacie Ponder. Ewww.

Let's see...politics, baseball, sex, horror films. Yeah, that about sums me up. If I had a really great beer blog (besides mine) that I could recommend, then I would. But I'm still searching.

Now I command ye to go forth and get edumacated on these subjects. GO!
