The number of reader blogs continues to grow at an incredible speed, and the quality of their content is remarkable. We've got quite a few to recommend today, so I won't waste any time.

Reader DryHeat gives us a helpful summary of the recent gamesmanship concerning telecom immunity. I think this piece does a nice job of showing how the magnitude of what the administration is not saying seems to grow greater as their public pronouncements become more and more tortured.

Following Castro's long-awaited resignation this week, reader The Cynic Press takes on the "stupidity" of the U.S.'s current Cuba policy and cautions us not to pass up this opportunity to fundamentally re-think our relations with the island.

If you, like TPM, have your headquarters in New York City, you'll surely be interested to know that the NYPD has denied a press pass to long-time police reporter turned blogger/muckraker Leonard Levitt. Hopefully, we'll continue to hear more about this as the story develops.

On to the primary race. . .

Reader amber points out that Hillary counts among her endorsers some characters whose records may seem somewhat less than squeaky-clean to feminists and Democratic voters in general.

Reader FlyOnTheWall offers up his comprehensive take on the primary to-date. Read Part I here and Part II here.

Michelle Obama's comments on Monday have been the talk of the town this week, on both sides of the aisle. I'd like to just point out two reader blogs dealing with what Mrs. Obama said. First: an argument that perhaps race clouds many Americans' understandings of pride and patriotism. And second: a truly thoughtful and well-written piece from NCSteve on Mrs. Obama's comments and, more generally, the semantics of pride in America today.
