I’ve read Atrios every day that I’ve had internet access for the past 6 years. He’s the only site (besides GMail) that’s managed to stay in my ‘open this every time I open Firefox’ folder of bookmarks without being dropped for even a short time. </p> <p>DKos, TPM, Political Wire, all are great. Atrios, however, remains the king. He is <em>the best</em> at messaging: distilling concepts to politically palatable– and intellectually understandable and coherent– phrases.</p> Yeah.

That way you get the front-pagers and avoid all the candidate diaries. You do get links to the “rescued diaries”, which give you pointers to all the stories that are getting ignored.</p> DailyKos is much better if you just read the RSS feed.

The Big Orange Satan has gotten too big. I check it every day but no longer read the comments. I loved it in the beginning for Kos’s political analyses. Much scarcer nowadays. I think there are a lot of kids posting, which accounts for the vitriol. Takes time to learn how to contain it.</p> Ditto. The Big Orange Satan has gotten too big.

“Just check Atrios every morning,” I told him. “He tells us all what we’re going to talk about that day, and then we do it.” A short while later, I ran into him again. “Now I understand,” he said.

Yup. Been doing that since the fall of 2002.

Atrios is our Drudge, except he doesn’t lie.
