All the news I feel like posting, when the mood strikes me, or when a news event grabs the attention of my obtuse, twisted mind, and I can think of a relevant, or witty, or sarcastic, or skeptical, or off-color, or paranoid comment to attach to the headline/blurb.

VERIFICATION
"Alan Colmes has been called an on-air punching bag, a runt, wishy-washy, a milquetoast and -- this one must really hurt -- a conservative at heart." [Newsday] {I just knew was right on this one. It's nice to have one's opinions verified.}

Three steps to a more informed future:
You can't get a well-rounded and informed view of the world by watching network and cable news. Whether liberally or conser- vatively biased, it's all the same homogen- ized message of the monoculture. Rebel against this white- bread content.
Step One:
Cancel your cable. (Look at how much money you will save right there.) Cable gets more and more expensive while its contents narrow more each year.
Step Two:
Get all your news from the Internet
a) Subscribe to news- letters and follow the links of items and events you want to become informed on, instead of being told by your tv what interests you.
b) Create a list of links to surf the net for the news you're interested in. Create a homepage on your computer and use it as your starting point when you surf the net. Or, come to this page as a starting point.
Step Three:
See the world through other people's eyes.
a) e.g., mine. Visit my website every day. Bookmark this page. I have a different point of view. I live in a different world, which I reflect.
b) Surf the net for personal websites. Search out a unique viewpoint each day.
