I like to regularly read the National Review, online, to get a glimpse into the minds of conservatives. They're rather good, not to extreme and dont endlessly bash liberals and democrats. They're very reasonable with their views and give good arguments.

But, I'm perticularly fond of the New Republic. They're fairly in the middle, internationally and economically centrist and to the left with social issues, but ; but very fair to opposing viewpoints. Plus, I feel that they simply have more interesting articles and subjects. I'm thinking about subscribing a paper one so that I can get it in college.

Anyone else interested in this kind of stuff?

prefer "Atlantic" magazine for its deeply considered approach to a given topic. It has become more conservative in the past 10 years but makes a valiant attempt at balance most of the time. I also really like "Harper's"; it is definitely not conservative. I have been subscribing for a long time to both of these magazines which has advantages. For example, I remember things that Robert Kaplan predicted in articles 10 years ago and can compare them to his current writing.

Some day when I have more time and my own place to get subscriptions (you wouldn't know it but I hate reading off a computer screen), I would like to start reading some political and sociological journals. I guess since I was nominated for Alpha Delta Kappa, I'm supposed to get a year's subscription to some sociology journal. Sociology is typically political in nature, but often hitting on a different level. While political science looks at actual institutions and processes and current events, political sociology looks at the forces behind these forces. The two often intertwine (in my opinion political science is a branch of sociology which itself is a branch of anthropology).
Right now, I occasionally read Scientific American and want to subscribe to that. It may not be explicitly political, but I tend to focus on the politics involved in the articles.
I guess it's just that I'd rather look at the political ramifications of "non-political" issues than explicit political commentary.

And I do not need to know.

Nope. Barely have time to keep up with the news, much less pay for even more political opinion. We subscribe to Scientific American and NatGeo, and often find ourselves pressed for time to read those each month.
