So now, as I drink my morning cup of coffee, instead of opening
up the newspaper, I open the following seven websites as tabs in
my browser window and proceed to read my paper:

http://www.truthout.org/ t r u t h o u t - News Politics
http://www.opednews.com/ OpEdNews - Progressive News and Opinion
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ The Huffington Post
http://www.dailykos.com/ Daily Kos: State of the Nation
http://oakland.drinkingliberally.org/ Drinking Liberally Oakland
http://takeaction.wordpress.com/ Bear Republic Action Group
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/ The Smirking Chimp
http://www.crooksandliars.com/ Crooks and Liars
http://www.theprogressiveconnection.com/ Local politics for the East Bay and beyond…

Often there are links on these sites to some of the other sites
listed below. I occasionally post my views about the news on the
Oakland Drinking Liberally blog under the moniker regular_guy.
