In the most recent edition of the Sunday Seven, I asked readers to make a guess at the seven top categories on this blog. Four days later, no one has made an attempt, which means that either no one wants to guess or no one cares.
But I’m the stubborn type, so I decided to list the top 10 categories …

Politics

Being middle of the road means freedom to criticize both sides without regret.

Double Standards

Gotta love people who say one thing then demand the other.

Religion

My take on what’s right and what’s wrong with religion.

First to play last week: Mika of Mika Salakka. Congratulations!

(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)

Mine are up, with the caveat that they are new to me, not new-just-starting (except one).

I usually get all my online news through my RSS reader, Google Reader. The top feeds I rely on for news are…

1. The New York Times
2. The Washington Post
3. various Chattanooga Times-Free Press feeds (for local news)
4. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (for Georgia news)
5. The Nashville Tennessean (for Tennessee news)
6. memeorandum (for important political stories and rantings across the blogosphere)
7. MSNBC (serves the same infotainment purpose as CNN and other sites, but the feed is more managable.

I also regularly read the feeds from Think Progress, Truthdig, and Undernews (Progressive Review) for left-leaning news and views, various sports news sites like ESPN, and various news oriented blogs.

I’ve used many other news feeds in the past, but have struggled to keep my reading list from overwhelming me.
