TomDispatch.com

I've found a new site that I think very highly of:  tomdispatch.com.

The website describes the man behind it, Tom Engelhardt, as follows:

"Tom Engelhardt created and runs the Tomdispatch.com website, a project of The Nation Institute where he is a Fellow. He is the author of a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the Cold War, The End of Victory Culture, and of a novel, The Last Days of Publishing, as well as a collection of his Tomdispatch interviews, Mission Unaccomplished. Each spring he is a Teaching Fellow at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
Tomdispatch.com is the sideline that ate his life. Before that he worked as an editor at Pacific News Service in the early 1970s, and, these last three decades, as an editor in book publishing. For 15 years, he was Senior Editor at Pantheon Books where he edited and published award-winning works ranging from Art Spiegelman's Maus and John Dower's War Without Mercy to Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy. He is now Consulting Editor at Metropolitan Books, as well as co-founder and co-editor of Metropolitan's The American Empire Project. Many of the authors whose books he has edited and published over the years now write for Tomdispatch.com. He is married to Nancy J. Garrity, a therapist, and has two children, Maggie and Will."

The website lists seven pages of bios of contributing authors here.

The pieces here are longer than you usually find on the web.  A lot of them are about subjects that don't interest me, but the ones that do are consistently well sourced, well argued, well written -- and quite enjoyable.  If you want fluffy, breezy pieces, read Huffpost Social News (conveniently contained in HuffPo's right-hand column so that if you want, you can ignore it).
