Some of our Favorite Places:

• Alternet: Home of Alternative Journalism.
• Afterhours HotWired: The Sucksters at Play.
• The American Reporter: Where we do the occasional book review ...
• The Rapture Index: Incredibly, this person has come up with A Way to Tell, on any given day, just how fast we are approaching the "End Times." This makes us giggle uncontrollably just to think about, and we saw no reason not to share it.
