Where did you discover all of these obscure ones?

keithster · 02-17-2003, 11:34 AM

If you are an information junky, like me, you find yourself poking around the net, searching. You just run across them from time to time.

WorldNetDaily links a lot of news articles from various sources. That's another way it happens.

I also like this, which used to be the New Australian http://www.brookesnews.com/

Where are the ladies? Do you look at news sites? I know you do.

Alec · 03-02-2003, 11:44 PM

I agree with Grimey: http://news.google.com/. You get up-to-date news from many different sources.

I really don't look at them. When I sign out of hotmail, I look at the msn page, but most of it is entertainment that I don't care to read about--same thing w/ the aol page that pops up when I log onto IM.

I do have an interesting comment about keeping up w/ the news. Well at least I thought it was interesting.

When I was teaching near Lexington, I felt bad because it seemed like everyone kept up with the daily local paper and I didn't. Finally one day it hit me that I grew up with a weekly paper, not a daily one. I can't take all that in at the beginning of the day. Weekly, now that I can handle (plus I know most everyone in it!). Then when I lived near Ashland, I thought it was interesting that the local paper came out in the afternoon instead of the morning.

My fil actually made me feel better about the whole thing when he pointed out to me that he had enough in his life to get right w/ God without keeping up with ALL the news. So, even if I'm a little

for not being well read in daily news, I do think I spend my time in other ways that can be just as enlightening without being totally clueless about local and world events.
