As a self-confessed pop-culture junkie who loves free stuff, I've been trolling PopSugar (and it's sister sites) for about a year now. The Sugar blogs just released a new addition to the team: CitizenSugar. It's a news and politics blog which emphasizes the poppy, fun elements of elections and issues.

I think it could be really effective in selling politics to those who might otherwise write it off as boring, as well as providing politicos with  juicy tidbits about Washington's finest.

And here's an awesome incentive to start reading. CitizenSugar is giving away a News Junkie package a week for the next four weeks. According to them:

"The package includes a Sirius radio (it works in your home and in your car), a TiVo HD DVR with a year of service, and the inky-goodness of the New York Times, thumping on your doormat every Sunday for 12 weeks."

If one of you win and I don't, I am going to be mad. But I suppose that's a pretty good tradeoff for Tivo and the Times.
