What good blogs can you recommend?

[Chichiri]

The blogosphere has become vast, so I'm looking for some good blogs to bookmark when I need a respite from the occasional doom&gloomers on DU. I know about some like talkingpointsmemo, and dailykos, and ruy teixeina's site. What else can the good people here recommend for a newbie like me?
