This contains very strong language but is very funny

This is always worth a look - a wee bit more cerebal than the previous link

A large part of my life has been squandered here.

Definitely not politically correct. It’s how I keep up with the news.

No real content on the site itself, but it’s the best way to read RSS feeds, including for this board.

If you’re not already using RSS, you might be interested in knowing that it will cut the time you spend browsing for interesting content on the web in half – if not more.

I can spend a lot of time fooling around here:

You can hear bits of music from places you have never even heard of.

Both require some thought, but are always insightful. I especially like Theodore Dalrymple’s articles in City Journal. He also writes for The Spectator in England.

Great, wide ranging perspectives on a variety of issues.

Occasionally alarmist, but always well referenced, commentary on the global jihad by a very knowledgable trio of Islamic scholars.

Excellent, professional translations of the Middle Eastern media. A scary eye-opener at times.

Why not? Hahahaha.

Thanks to you Dub, now a large part of MY life shall be squandered here as well. SIGH! :wink: My two oldest are going to take a literature course from a local college professor this coming fall. He said that the first thing they are going to touch upon is poetry, but they are only going to spend a very short amount of time on it. I was appalled! I could do at least an entire year on poetry. And if you break it down into author, I could do a whole semester on Shakespeare, another on Yeats, another on Browning. But thank you for posting the link anyway, despite the fact that I’ll be spending way too much time there :wink:
