Other stuff...
Why not start the day with a trip over to read the latest outpouring from James Lilek's 'The Bleat'....I can't always find resonance with his politics but his writing is just the best...
David Hewson publishes detective novels...he photographs things and checks out hardware/software...and he tells me all of the good places to go in Rome, and his website shows how all of this can be orchestrated,coordinated and pixillated.
I value Robin Lustig's thoughts and comments, and, fortunately, he writes rather a good blog too.
For news:
Gwynne Dyer writes some of the best columns that I've ever read -- check the archives linked by year on the bottom of the page.
Robert Fisk writes some majestic prose and is a damn fine hack.
The following should provide a good spread of opinion - click on the name to go to the site:
BBC, Torygraph, Indy, Grauniad, Drudge, NYT, Washington Post.
Then there's Andrew Brown ... and Fareed Zakaria's Newsweek articles are very good too. I just wish that Jon Snow could find time to write more; I've got a lot of time for him.
For more of the political buzz in the blogosphere...
A variety here for your political delectation....mainly US-centric but none the worse for that; tackling and commenting on the big and not-so-big issues 24/7 in a thoughtful and decent manner (but notice the extent to which the incestuous nature of this particular beast can lead to toe-curling mutual backslapping.....or flagellation); wide specrum stuff, all worth a read IMHO [even if sometimes some of them infuriate me]; and in no political batting order; ladies and gentlemen, I offer up for your antagonism:

Instapundit
Andrew Sullivan
Hugh Hewitt
Daniel Drezner
Oxblog
Our very own Boris Johnson has a cool site....for an ex-Tory MP and a mayor...and Matthew Parris writes some great stuff (for another ex-Tory MP!).
........left turn...........
[Again, unless otherwise indicated, just click on the name to go to the site]
Matthew Yglesias
Juan Cole [thoughtful, informed, detailed coverage and analysis of Middle Eastern stuff; esp. Iraq].
Joshua Micah Marshall's Talking Points Memo -- -- and TPM Muckraker for some solid and well written/linked reporting. Drop by the TPM Cafe too.
Laura Rosen
Kevin Drum
Daily Kos
My favourite? Well, that would bruise my apolitical credentials....
For money:
Motley Fool - clean site and a great community.
Moneyextra - good comparator tools for personal finance.
