Here are some of my favourite sites, these are places I recommend and/or go to regularly:
3000 Years in 90 Seconds
The imperial history of the middle east, see 5000 years of history in 90 seconds.
The Anomalist
A daily review of world news on maverick science, unexplained mysteries, unorthodox theories, strange talents, and unexpected discoveries.
Antiwar.com
A daily compendium of links to war news from around the world, highly recommended as an alternative and complement to main stream news sites.
APOD
The astronomy picture of the day. A daily picture (often breathtakingly beautiful) with a description by a scientist, APOD covers a vast array of astronomically related subjects.
Cost of the Iraq War
Running tally of how much the war in Iraq has cost the US taxpayer, with some comparisons of what this kind of money could have paid for.
Cryptomundo
The cryptozoology site, all the news on unknown, out of place, and mystery animals.
Dave VE7CNV’s Truly Canadian Dictionary of Canadian Spelling
Why the spelling on this blog appears to be a weird amalgam of British and American spelling. It’s not, there is truly Canadian spelling, and this author strives to adhere to it.
Drudge Report
Often sensationalist compendium of current news links, but aren’t we all? A site to visit to review what’s making news in the world, from a conservative perspective especially.
Elron’s View from the Edge “It’s your karma, use it wisely”
A fine political blog with forays into science and philosophy. Elron is a pacifist extraordinaire, and the man who inspired me to start Doug’s Darkworld.
Humorless Bitch
On-line commentary by funny, incisive writer; Zo nails the political to the personal in fine, bite-me style.
Logic & Fallacies: Constructing a Logical Argument
How to spot bad logic in arguments.
Snopes.com
The urban legends reference site. Whenever one gets an email warning that says “send this to all your friends,” check it out on Snopes before hitting the forward button. It saves a lot of embarrassment, trust me.
WhatReallyHappened.com
A tendentiously conspiracy oriented site, but often links to odd and important stories not likely to be seen on mainstream news sites.
WordPress.org
The fine folks who host this blog.

Dude.
snopes?
get real. they’re full of shit just as much as any other site that can’t figure out that incredibly strong well built steel buildings don’t just suddenly give up and change their properties of resilience, strength, résistance to deformity, heat absorption and transference, and redundant load bearing.
you need to reexamine your reality if you think snopes is fact based. they’ve got some good stuff, but it’s mixed in with a LOT of bullshit.
want to learn more?
i’m an expert. just ask. drop a e mail to that address.
