POLITICAL WEBSITES -- It doesn't take too many to
get the gist of things. Gentlemen, come out fighting!
|
WAY LEFTWING
(for America)
(mostly middle of the road elsewhere)
A very whiny knee-jerk website (and worse since 9/11, to where it's almost entirely unreadable), with lots of grammar mistakes and
routine college newspaper editorials thrown in, BUT that
often has a good essay among its earnest pinko rants. I check it out a
lot, actually. They post daily stuff with grand "end of the
world" headlines.
|
Good name, fairly good site, again a bit over the top since 9/11
 |
WAY RIGHTWING (for
America)
(Too afraid to take the next few steps into fascism, and a lot of
"we're Americans, by God, so we're right" kind of
self-righteousness -- but with evidence and an occasional
good writer)
Probably the least obnoxious of the "conservative
news" sites. Enlightening, some intelligent folks, whether you agree or not!
 |
Stop arguing over who's liberal and who's conservative -- it's all money
that drives American politics, right? This site has stats on
how much money companies are giving, which parties politicians are
getting it, and why all this guides our entire national policy on most
everything. |

That settled, here are some of the reasons Al Gore
invented the Internet in the first place.

| ENGRISH.COM
Endless side-splitting examples of English being mutilated in
Japan on t-shirts, labels, signs, etc. Don't miss this one.

Jesus
of the Week!
Profoundly irreverent and funny depictions of Jesus.
Not for the pious.

Rod McKuen's website:
A Safe Place to Land
I'm not even sure you should go here -- it just struck me as kind of ...
poignant
By the way, Rod appears in my "Plummet
into Irrelevance" section -- no offense, Rod.
|
Another one not for the pious. They call it "Jesus21",
since we're entering our 21st century of Jesus, and because you probably
ought to be 21 to read this stuff. This site used to be updated
all the time, then they just archived everything and add a bit now and
then. Lots of cleverness and humor here! |
It doesn't get better than
this!

I'll let you check this out -- an entire ring of sites dedicated to the
expulsion of gas from the human body. If you aren't a chuffophile, you
can just move along.

Welch
This guy is a great freelance writer who writes all kind of great
stuff for different online magazines. I've never met him, but he is also
about the same age as me; we were in the Czech Republic at roughly the
same time (as a founder of Prognosis), we both married foreigners and
hate the INS. Then again, he is famous in his field and also appears to
enjoy professional sports.
|
He comes up with some funny stuff sometimes -- if he only had an
editor for all those typos and bad grammar. (UPDATE: This site hasn't been updated since who-knows-when)
I'm happy to boycott him nonetheless.
