True confessions: I generally hate politics because of the senseless, irrational rhetoric that accomplishes nothing. Nonetheless, this blog manages to lay it all out in a logical fashion with a good mix of wry humor and insightful commentary. He uses my favorite descriptive word for much of the political discourse we're subjected to: vitriol.
Colin's right about the links, also: They are interesting and relevant, and seem to complement the articles, instead of just being a link to another site to get the info.
This is a true "Connecticut" blog to me -- it's not just another blog that happens to be run out of a computer in CT (or someone who says they're from CT). To continue the debate on the function and purpose of "Connecticut blogs," this one obviously demonstrates the purpose and function of blogs organized around CT issues.
To address a comment, I suppose there is a function to knowing blogs which originate in CT, regardless of content, as a sort of address list. In that case, though, we're just noting (highly unreliable) profile information, right?

I don't necessarily agree on the idea that a blog focused on politics really represents what a Connecticut blog is. It's a political website, which many people in Connecticut are indifferent about. A Connecticut blog should have a distinct flavor, and just blogging about politics lacks that.
