Post #27 The Enigma That is Andrew Sullivan...

The other site that I visit daily (often multiple times per day) is The Daily Dish "Dish" author, Andrew Sullivan has become a great source of political and social commentary. He also provides a voice to an often voiceless group of people: gay, conservative, and religious.

Because of his seeming enigmatic identity, Sullivan speaks from a position unlike many other writers. His commentary is often focused on social, political, or news-worthy topics. He also features 2 segments that I thoroughly enjoy: "A View From Your Window" (reader submitted photos) and "Mental Health Break" (video clips that remind us that it is ok to laugh once in a while).

Sullivan not only posts nearly every day, he regularly posts 15-20 times per day. He often uses quotes from other articles, interviews, or speeches in order to spur discussion. Although he does not allow for reader comments on each post, he welcomes emails, even posting "Dissent of the Day" when differing opinions warrant attention.

Check out The Daily Dish and see if you are not inspired, challenged, or both.
