A politics blog by political scientists
Considering how often we're all inundated by BS spouted so-called political experts, I think it's interesting to see how real political scientists think about politics: http://www.themonkeycage.org
I think people would be well-served to question the information they're being fed by the so-called experts, and try to approach politics in a more scientific manner. An "expert" saying something doesn't make it true, and two experts disagreeing about something doesn't make the topic controversial. We should expect people who make a living out of covering politics to actually provide some evidence for their assertions and not just rely on "common sense" or passing on the cliche of the day. Here's a recent example that the above blog mentioned:

Hopefully some of you will read the blog and realize that political "experts" to political scientists is about the same as popular science is to real science.
