Maybe it's the stench of death beginning to emanate from the Bush Administration and the screech of vultures circling overhead. Whatever the reason I'm finding it more and more interesting to keep up with what is going on in the news. One of the best sites I have found is over at http://slate.msn.com/ SLATE not only has some fine columnists on staff, but also cover the what is being said & reported in the major national newspapers. I personally recommend getting the daily e-mail newsletter which will link you to the major stories being reported in the NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, WALL STREET JOURNAL and other papers.

While SLATE itself seems to have a pretty "liberal' bent, the magazines & newspapers they'll link to often are not, so you can get a wide range of opinions. As Mark Evanier always reminds us, you really should know what those who don't agree with you are saying. It's great to hear what you want, but it isn't always what is correct.
