The Dr.udge Rep0r+

So. The Drudje Reporrt. (trying to avoid random googlings here) I don't know anything about what the radio show is like, but the site, while it appears to be rather balanced, (there are incendiary advertisements, but who cares about those) actually just culls articles from mostly mainstream sources, as nearly as I can tell. And I've been seeing plenty of tabloidish, paparazzi-type articles in there too, which is bad.

Buuuut: At the bottom, and as recommended to me by Nick Lantinga, a staunch Republican who knows his stuff, there is a WEALTH of links to other news sources from whence a person could more news than you could shake several sticks at.

Ultimately the Drubge Riport is coming off the list soon, but not because of bias, and not because it doesn't have valuable content (ie: The Awesome Links List) . . merely because it doesn't seem to be geared towards getting a real, in-depth version of issues like the other sites do.

Apologies to Luke and any friends who don't particularly like the current blogging content/news search. I would merely argue that 1) It's really, really important to do, and while I should have done it long ago, I think it's a worthwhile thing to do in "public." 2) I find very little in my day-to-day life worth blogging about right now. I don't say that to be cutely self-depricating, I just don't like to bore people with details about myself. Although I did just read The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and found it Amazing.

Is there any chance of getting a mix of personal stuff and news? Seriously, you don't give those of us who read regularly enough credit if you think it's boring. Sorry you're not wiping your ass with your hand, but we are more interested in you than "adventures".
