> I love [The Comics Curmudgeon](http://joshreads.com/). The guy who writes it often makes me think about the daily comics in a new way

I agree. He’s the primary reason I read the soap strips like Mary Worth, Judge Parker, and Mark Trail. That, and [Dean’s Comic Booth](http://comicbooth.com/blogengine.net/) are the only blogs I follow regularly.

> I stopped reading [fivethirtyeight.com](http://fivethirtyeight.com) right after the election. I just checked and I see he’s covering the UK election which makes complete sense. What does he do when nobody is having elections? I can see how it would be interesting to get his take on polling data every so often but I’m not sure I could get into him regularly when there’s no election to predict. He was really interesting during the election though, so I’d love to be mistaken.

I need someone who understands statistics to tell me what poll results are accurate or not. I’m not following their UK election coverage, but they did have a good article analyzing polls showing support for Arizona’s new immigration law. They’ll also be useful in the run up to the midterm elections.
