Welcome to Political Zen

Political Zen is a new blog created to offer an alternative to the ubiquitous cyber-punditry and the destructive, though entertaining, partisan rant that has consumed both cyber and traditional broadcast media. While we reserve the right to engage in the occasional rant, our goal is to foster a more reflective and reasoned approach to the analysis of politics and contemporary culture.

In the spirit of inclusiveness, we will refrain from posting articles that have an overly "academic" tone or appeal to a relatively small subset of the population. Our goal is to be informative without being too didactic.

Not wanting to limit ourselves too much, we have created a fairly broad area of interest in politics and culture - in this we hope to further develop the site along the lines of political and economic philosophy, with a bit of religious discussion on the side. It might sound somewhat disconnected, but the nexus will become apparent as the site evolves.

We welcome your comments and suggestions and hope you enjoy the blog!
