Robert Tagorda is the blogger behind Priorities & Frivolities, though personally I've always liked the name in his Blogspot URL best: Boomshock. Now that's a blog name.
Robert's blog has a well-earned reputation for quality on many subjects, including some very fine baseball posts to go with his usual commentary. His analysis the recent California recall election was the best I found - not just in the blogosphere, but anywhere. He recently gave up on Blogspot, and moved into a much spiffier MT-based home for his writings.
Esteemed UK Blogger Norman Geras has also had it with Blogspot, and moved to Typepad. Which is good, because his material also deserves to be more accessible. Check these guys out.
This Norm is a popular guy with you Instapundit folks. That's about 1,937 blogs already that have posted his new link. What did he do, write The Sound of Music? Invent basketweaving? Stop being so incestuous.
What did he do, write The Sound of Music?
No, he is a leftist - an avowed Marxist in fact - who has proven to be consistent on the most basic questions of human rights and freedom. Hence, his rarity.
If he's a Marxist and a defender of human rights, I'd say he's confused, not rare.
