I don't have a single favorite, but I recommend Ta Nehisi Coates, whose blog shows the good effects of working to be rational about hard emotional issues, in particular, those around race. Lately, he's been observing Confederate History Month by working on dealing with having a painful historical past.

It hadn't occurred to me that he was a rationalist, but it's true; so much of his blog is secretly about how to debate well.
