A Blue-Eyed Buddhist

I've known Paul Cox (in the cyberspace sense) for quite some time, since late 2003 at the ornery.org discussion forums, and since mid-2004 as a frequent reader and commenter on this blog. He's always been more reasonable than I, looking upon the world with cynical yet fair-minded eyes. We don't always agree, but I always respect his opinions.

Recently Paul has started a personal blog, A Blue-Eyed Buddhist. It took me about five months before I committed to a full-bore entry-a-day blogging routine, but Paul is going daily right out of the gate. And his intel & analysis is very good; he provides highly detailed explanations and well-sourced and well-reasoned deliberation on matters political, social and personal. There's quite a bit of politics so far, but it is peppered with a variety of others topics, a style I enjoy (though his are probably a lot more substantial than hamster videos and eyelid twitching). And I'm not just saying all this because of what he wrote in his first entry.

I'm signing up to be a daily reader. As you may note, I have added Paul's blog to my linkboard on the right-hand sidebar on the main page, and I hope that if you come to visit here, you will visit Paul as well. It's hard to get a blog started and begin a readership, so help out, and whenever possible, please provide links to the blog elsewhere to help the site get established.
