Mark’s Link Library
If we’re all going to be tossing websites at each other in this modern life, I might as well offer some that strike me as worthy, for a number of reasons. I’m guessing you know where to find Fox News or the major political parties, so I’ll supply some places that are not as basic, and some that I’ve just landed on over the years.
POLITICAL THINGS
RealClearPolitics.com The still-young granddaddy of political sites, with columns, polls, video– you could spend all day here
TheHill.com Good bipartisan site, mostly Congressional issues
WeeklyStandard.com Home of our friends Bill Kristol, Steve Hayes and others
IPI.org The Institute for Policy Innovation, one of America’s best think tanks, and they’re local
PJMedia.com Pajamas Media, edgy conservatives, always fun
RedState.com Our buddy Erick Erickson, longtime friend of the show
WashingtonPost.com/Blogs/TheFix The Wash Post’s Chris Cillizza, always on top of things

MEDIA THINGS

LISA’S FAVORITES: Stuff I see over her shoulder at home:
Pinterest.com An online pinboard, whatever that is. But it’s loaded with stuff of all types
FoodNetwork.com Self-explanatory. I have benefited greatly from her devotion to this.
DFW.com Best overall place for everything local
DoctorOz.com If he said drink motor oil, America’s women would do it. And I probably would too, the guy is great.
