Quoting Lev Lafayette (lev@levlafayette.com):
But in this particular case I do want to send out a general invite to readers of LUV-talk and friends because - from some experience - Linux users do seem to be a little more interested in politics and even US politics than average.
Sorry to not be able to hear Dean Edwards's talk. However, for those interested in US electoral matters, I would like to put in a warm recommendation for Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight blog, now hosted at the _New York Times_: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/ Nate Silver is an analyst on political and statistical matters with a world-class track record. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FiveThirtyEight For the intersection between politics and economics, there's Paul Krugman's columns: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/ For perspective and humour, go straight to Andy Borowitz: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport
