I am searching for an interesting/entertaining/informative blog written in German. Anyone know a couple of good ones?
Thanks in advance.

What is interesting? Something that I find interesting might bore the hell out of you. Anyway, here are three sites covering things that are intentionally concealed in the mass media:
http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/ - Unmasks manipulative language and disinforming articles in the mass media
http://www.heise.de/tp/ - Not really a blog but the site of a periodical. Various topics, tends to be left wing, many articles on South America, global fiscal politics, and social issues in Germany
http://www.pi-news.net/ - Politically Incorrect News, quite right wing

If you're just starting out in German and interested in learning more about German life, language and culture, Slow German might be just the thing you're looking for. Each post has an accompanying transcript and audio, and as the title of the website hints, it's spoken very pleasantly by Annik Rubens at a slightly slower rate for beginners to the language. And once you feel a bit more confident in listening, you can switch over to her natural-speed podcast/blogsite Schalflos in München, which offers fun and interesting topics and chats each week.

Should probably clarify, my apologies. My general interests are most things "cultural," i.e. the Arts. I also am interested in news/current events and politics with a moderate slant if possible. Truthfully, I want something that is going to give me a good amount of language exposure, so something that updates daily or weekly is ideal.
