9. GraphJam: So, so funny.
8. Spiritual Politics: Mark Silk shoots straight.
7. Lessig Blog: Law prof Lawrence Lessig fights unnecessary copyright laws (and Sarah Palin).
6. MinnPost: This might be the future of newspapers — online and non-profit.
5. Get Religion: The MSM doesn’t “get” religion.
4. Presentation Zen: No bullet points. Ever.
3. Religion Dispatches: Smart, newsy, progressive writing about religion.
2. Zen Habits: Simplify your life.
1. Lifehacker: How to do everything better, cheaper, easier.
