You know there are a bunch of better places to spend your time.

I have resolved to follow Michael Haz's advice and can the corn. So I am spending my time at sites that are much more interesting and enjoyable then some of the ones I have wasted so much time on lately.

One of them is Hugh Hewitt's site. Hugh is a conservative columnist and interviewer who is about to break out and become a lot more popular. He has been named as the moderator/questioner at some of the upcoming presidential debates. He usually has very interesting guests and ask very penetrating questions. Not just conservatives but also very liberal journalists and the occasional liberal politicians although most of them will not put themselves out there. He takes a no nonsense approach and unlike someone like Levin or Bill O'Reilly he does not come out so emotional that it skews the conversation. When ask fact based questions and have the statistics on hand it is tough for people to weasel out of it. For instance he has been talking about the decline of the US Navy for a long time now and with the events in Yemen this is a front burner topic. Pinning down where candidates stand on the size and composition of the Navy is not the usual social issues that cloud so many discussions with the various candidates.

Not that he shies away from that. He has recently asked several prospective candidates if they would attend the marriages of relatives who were gay. Some were forthright like Marco Rubio who said of course he would go and Rick Santorum who said no. Others like Ted Cruz weaseled. This is not a one issue make or break for me but it does give me a pretty strong handle on their ability to stand strong for their beliefs. It is part of a mosaic which lets me paint a picture of the candidate and if he is a viable person for me to support.

Hugh seems much more of a Rhino than I like but he still asks the tough questions that need to be answered by a serious candidate. Much to be preferred to the ultra-liberal bloggers who have a conservative following but are dyed in the wool progressives no matter how they market themselves. Along with Legal Insurrection and Power Line it is one of the few blogs I will be following henceforth. If you not familar with Mr. Hewitt you might want to give him a try. It is worth the effort.
