Boy, do I have a website for you . . .
Do you ever visit www.rumormillnews.com? Somehow, I think you might find it of interest.
If you go to the website, scroll down to the little blue box that says "reading room" (expect pop-ups, darn it), and click on the link.
You have to be an "agent" to post there (note: I am NOT an agent, nor have I ever desired to be one for myriad reasons), but there's some interesting reading from different points of view.
You don't need Visa or Mastercard there, but you do need a large grain of salt.
I enjoy the different perspectives. Some threads I simply ignore, and others I find quite intriguing. An added feature is that you can see how many times each message has been viewed.
If you go, let me know what you think.

p.s. I read a book a few years ago (very, very controversial) that left me questioning everything. Soon after reading that book I found RumorMillNews and a few other similar websites. I always start out at www.drudgereport.com but depending on the current political/national/world situation I will give these other sites a quick look to see what spin they're putting on things. Also, have you seen "Wag the Dog?"
Another P.S. - This post is about the extent of it for me as far as the subject of politics goes. My husband and I talk about it constantly (I think I wear on his nerves), plus, I get my political internet jollies from three websites (two of which I mentioned above). I started Lexapro again Monday so I'm hoping that little 1/2 pill will help me stop obsessing about what's going to happen and take a more an "I ultimately have no control over it" attitude.
Okay, gotta run, Jimi. I'm leaving this room full of mirrors because I hear my train a comin'. I need to get ready to take my husband to work - not in a purple haze for a change - will undoubtedly hit some crosstown traffic. I'll take a stab at make up but still won't be a foxy lady. Manic depression?
