This is a bit of intellectual laziness on my part.  In 
deciding which political comlumnist in which to invest 
time, one may take a shortcut by looking at which
ExI posters like the columnist and which do not.  Since I
have been reading ExI posts for years, I can make
a rough judgment on its value.  Two of the posters
I hold in high esteem disagree.  Robert Bradbury likes
Friedman, Jeff Davis apparently dislikes.

Others please, who are familiar with Thomas Friedman: like
or dislike?

Victor Davis Hanson, like or dislike?

Other online-available columnists?

Samantha, Rafal, Damien, David Lubkin, Jef, gts, some of you
others who sometimes post politically oriented material, who
are your favorite columnists?
