David Brooks recently named ten young writers he considered the leading lights of the next generation of conservatism. Is it mere coincidence that seven of the ten are bloggingheads? See them in action: Ross Douthat, Reihan Salam, Will Wilkinson, Julian Sanchez, Matthew Continetti, Megan McArdle, and Ramesh Ponnuru. We congratulate ourselves on our embarrassment of riches.

This Just In  
How good are our bloggingheads? They tell you the news before it even happens! In this prescient clip, political scientist Robert Farley ("the Nostradamus of Kentucky") says Russia's invasion of Georgia will cause Poland to strike a missile defense deal with the U.S. The rest is history.

Sportheads  
The Beijing Olympics have just begun, and Bloggingheads is already a medal contender for probing analysis—and unlike NBC's coverage, ours has never caused anyone to flee the country. Josh Levin and June Thomas debate whether it's wrong to be extra suspicious of Chinese athletes. Robert Lipsyte argues that the Games are both evil and pornographic. On the political side, Daniel Drezner and Robert Kagan debate what China wants from the Olympics and from the U.S.
