Mine would be Charles Krauthammer . http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401690.html

His world view meshes with mine.  And he is smart, well-read, logical and even witty.

Who is your favorite columnist?   As long as he/she makes reasoned essays I'll take a look.  No matter what ideology they have.  Never hurts to see opposing viewpoints.

edit: In the above link the first two columns require a login but anyone can read the older ones.  Dang it.  posted wrong link.

    From the limited exposure I had to Christopher Hitchens writings I doubt he is a darling of the left.   But I like him also.

    Used to be Thomas Friedman with the NY TIMES, but I actually do not read his columns as often, anymore.

     

     

    Today, probably Paul Krugman with the NY TIMES.  He is also my favorite political-economic writer.

    When the left became pro-Islamofascism, they started hating him as a traitor. In everything he is very far left though. The left should have been in favor of the war against the Jihad; he is one of the few who remained consistent with the old left's ideals.

    Paul Krugman, All the President's Zombies, NY TIMES, August 23, 2009, available at www.nytimes.com/2009/08/24/opinion/24krugman.html ("politicians in the thrall of Reaganite ideology dismantled the New Deal regulations that had prevented banking crises for half a century, believing that financial markets could take care of themselves. The effect was to make the financial system vulnerable to a 1930s-style crisis — and the crisis came").

     

     

    Once I learned that Krugman's inspiration was Asimov's Foundation Series (just like Newt Gingrich), I liked him even more.
