Traditional Blogging
From my perspective, blogging began and is still most popular when it links to other, probably more accomplished blogs. Herewith, one of my two most favorite and most frequently consulted bloggers, Eric Alterman:
For example, a staggering 65 percent of those polled favor providing health insurance to all Americans, even if it means increasing taxes, while 86 percent say that they favor raising the minimum wage. While the left can't claim to hold a monopoly on quality of life issues such as health care and the minimum wage, you would be hard pressed – to say the least – to ever find a conservative pundit or politician champion either one of these issues.

------ from his most recent column at the Center for American Progress,
Why, then, do we not have universal, communal health coverage, thus spreading the risks among all of us for what, in the vast majority of cases, is a random factor (i.e. serious health consequences), and why in god's green earth do we not provide a minimum wage that comes anywhere close to approximating a living wage?
Puhleeeze, tell me.
