Have you ever found a good blog because you were impressed with something its proprietor said in a comment thread elsewhere and clicked through? Well, this morning I found Pith and Substance, whose owner goes by the name “PithLord” (one of the better handles in the blogosphere it has to be said). He appears to be a Canadian lawyer and writes about a variety of things political and philosophical. I found it through a comment thread over at The American Scene (itself a great blog).

I was also delighted in browsing his archives to come across this post, which, while probably a bit tongue-in-cheek, comes eerily close to describing my own basic political outlook.
