Oddly enough, I have at

Oddly enough, I have at least partly read, if not followed, all the blogs already mentioned.  I shall add a few more to the list.

http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/  Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert), who is good at political rants and satire

 http://www.atheists.org/nogodblog/ No God Blog, which serves as both a news source for atheists and a space for freedom-from-religion arguments

http://www.boingboing.net/ for interesting news stories

And they're all pretty different from each other.  I think of blogs more as structures, in the way that magazines are different from newspapers, which are different from novels, which are different from plays.  But blogs can literally be about anything, written in any style, by anyone with an internet connection.  But maybe that's the unifying factor that makes them all one genre.  Blogs don't go through editors and publishers in the way that books do, even if someone else reads through the blog before each posting.  The writer can still post exactly what they want in most cases.  They're an unfiltered look at a person's thoughts (other than the filters the writer herself uses).
