Larry suggested that on the next open mic we ask the readers to submit 3 of their favorite bookmarks (websites) for the rest of us to check out. Sounds good to me. But here are a couple of rules:
1) Don’t post Bits & Pieces or Bits of Wisdom.
2) You can’t post something that someone has already posted.
You can also talk about anything else you want.
Stand up close and type real clearly.
You mean I have to read all the comments before mine to make sure I’m not repeating one? That seems like a lot of trouble!
Oh, there aren’t any.
OK, I have a couple of HUNDRED sites bookmarked, so here are three random ones.
Metafilter http://www.metafilter.com/
Shakesville http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/
ScienceBlogs http://scienceblogs.com/
ScienceBlogs may be cheating, since there are dozen of bloggers posting under that tent. So If someone has a particular ScienceBlog author link, that wouldn’t be a repeat.
Three sites that I hit are:
oddee.com
espn.com
boortz.com (Paul in Boca – open at your own risk)

“bagnewsnotes.com a fascinating pictorial of current events around the world. no political bias, either.”
Paul, surely you jest about the no political bias part.
totallylookslike.com its hilarious.
Paul – Nice try but bagnews is politically biased. For example, they run photos of Arlen “Flip Flop” Spector in a town meeting hall with an explanation that he did not get shouted down by the crowd. I’ve seen the actual video and he sure as heck was not in control of the meeting. He repeated his mantra of “Just a minute” at least twelve times to the senior citizen who was trying to speak, with security guards hovering around him. They would have been more honest if they had run the video or a transcript of the event.

Oh come on Paul! I thought you had more finesse than that! Might as well just point you to GlennBeck .com! Same game, different team!
