From links that I followed from a political blog that I read sometimes: The Daily Howler. I don't remember exactly. One bit that led me there was that I was reading a book last week called Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time. It was a friend's book, so I only got through the prelude and the first chapter, but it's very interesting. Heard of it? Anyway, there was a review of the book on one of the links I followed.
