What blogs do you read?
Thanks to Google Reader, I'm able to follow about 15 blogs and day and keep up with them relatively easily. Most of the blogs I read are work related in some way. Here's a list of what I read, but we want to hear from you. What blogs do you read that help you keep on top of business, politics or your work life?

Here are my faves:
Talking Points Memo - center-left leaning political and election news, but with real reporting.
Keystone Research Center blog - PA policy think tank
Five Thirty Eight - Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus' stat-heavy political analysis. Nate and co-bloggers are great at anchoring political debates to a quantitative facts, contrary to the freewheeling and often baseless speculation that drive so much political commentary.
Ezra Klein - highly readable policy analysis that has been extremely valuable for following the health care debate. Ezra is a practical liberal, but he never substitutes his views for rigorous analysis.
Washington Independent - news site noteworthy for its deep reporting.
Streetsblog DC - great advocacy journalism on livable communities and urban policy issues
Capital Gains and Games - multi-author blog on economics, including Bruce Bartlett and Stan Collender
Naked Capitalism - left-leaning economics/financial blog by Yves Smith
what's your Google Reader info?
I'm with Jon - Google Reader is a simple way to keep up with the 147 blogs I monitor (!), without having to visit web sites individually.
