The Washington Post website is not usually a place someone would go to find conservatives. But the Post has created a new Discussion Groups area, and one of those areas is "Right Matters" -- with National Review writer and deep-thinker Ramesh Ponnuru. Ramesh is also the author of the recent book Party of Death, which has some neat data on abortion and media bias.
Liberals still have plenty of options at the new area, including discussions moderated by Post columnists E.J. Dionne and Eugene Robinson. The Washingtonpost.com people have also added "Rights Watchers" from the left-leaning Human Rights Watch, and "The Secularist's Corner" with "Freethinkers" author Susan Jacoby, for the many Post subscribers who think God is an angry comic-book character manufactured by the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Let's wish Ramesh well in that strange land on the Internet, which has seemed quite inhospitable since the quickly dissolving Ben Domenech fiasco. That blog lasted about five days.

Not a place to find conservatives? You mean guys like Bob Novak, Mike Gerson, George Will, Charles Krauthammer have been foot soldiers in the Post's monolithic army of liberalism? Somebody should tell them they're AWOL.

OK, I mean unique to Post.com
August 6, 2007 - 16:04 ET by Tim GrahamThe conservative columnists are part of the op-ed page, and we all know the Post.com people like to say they're separate from the Post on Dead Tree and vice versa. The unique hires of the Post.com folks, when it comes to politics and political chat, have been pretty monolithic.
