Chris Floyd's site (http://www.chris-floyd.com/index.php) is probably the best for news about US politics and the US government, although not necessarily confined to the US either. Apart from presenting information which could easily miss the spotlight, it is also a repository of bitter satire and critique against imperialist governments, with archives dating back to the Bush era and still updated. Among these are also critiques of initiatives such as microfinance and so on. In fact, I think that many of the best articles can be found by trawling through past articles, as nowadays there is less to say other than pointing out the continual folly of American liberals and the evils perpetrated by the Peace Laureate and such, so that, as Chris Floyd recently commented, he's practically running out of words; as such, one looking for more in-depth posts is probably best off looking through past articles, although more or less all are worth reading through.

So yes, does anybody else here read this? I would think that the general spirit is probably something very much in tune with the revolutionary leftists here, and I'm surprised that I haven't seen it cited more often. Certainly, given that many here seem to complain about interacting with liberals (Democrat supporters and such) regularly, this should serve as a reassuring counterweight.
