From Hurricane Katrina to the suburbs of Paris, from Supreme Court nominations to Special Prosecutor indictments, 2005 has been a hot year for political stories. And with 60 published articles daily, online magazine Blogcritics.org brings a unique take on political news and opinions to 50,000 visitors each day.

With more than 1,100 superior bloggers and a large editorial staff, Blogcritics.org is uniquely poised to cover the wide-ranging, ever-changing, and always percolating world of politics.

There's just no other place on the Internet to find a bustling community of thinkers, writers, and self-styled pundits who provide perspectives from all across the political spectrum. Liberals, conservatives, moderates, and iconoclasts from around the globe create a sizzling melting pot of opinions on the news and analysis galore. Each article then provides a forum for discussions with readers and Blogcritics alike, which often evolve and flourish as news events and developments take place in real time.

In the marketplace of ideas, Blogcritics.org is a wholesaler, distributor, and manufacturer all rolled into one. Just this week, you'll find:

* Weekly column "In the Middle" seeks to find out if two reasonable people from opposite ends of the political spectrum can put aside partisanship and reach a consensus about the issues of the day. This week, center-left representative Eric Berlin and conservative-leaner Phillip Winn take on Vice President Cheney in an attempt to answer the question, "What's up with him?"

* President Bush's speech defending the lead-up to war with Iraq is given a C for delivery but an A for content by resident Blogcritic Patfish.

* Mike Valdman puts the concept of judicial originalism under the microscope and uses it to size up Supreme Court nominee Samuel J. Alito Jr.

* Prolific Blogcritic Dave Nalle invokes Rudyard Kipling on Veteran's Day and demands that our returning soldiers be given the care they deserve.

* Natalie Bennett looks at Tony Blair's parliamentary defeat in the United Kingdom and the dangers posed to individual rights in reaction to terrorist threats.

* Chris Muir's "Day By Day" comic strip looks at the lighter side of politics and media by musing on such themes as the difference between a "news producer" and a "producer of news."
