Seriously, we should sell tickets to that some days. My usual is a heavy noise-to-signal mix of the internets, mostly for entertainment rather than with an expectation of obtaining real information -- Instapundit, Google News, Fark, BBC News, Slashdot, Overlawyered, <a href="http://www.eiaonline.com/intercepts.htm" rel="nofollow">Intercepts</a>, <a href="http://www.ecogeek.org/" rel="nofollow">EcoGeek</a>, JunkScience, <a href="http://michaelyon-online.com/" rel="nofollow">Michael Yon</a> and <a href="http://theanchoressonline.com/" rel="nofollow">The Anchoress"</a>. I used to enjoy the level-headedness of Ed Morrisey at Captain's Quarters before he moved to Hot Air, but the new site isn't worth navigating when trying avoid the crazy. It's a hazardous trail to tread, and it involves trying to find a real source and actual facts for any news I may happen upon, but it leads to interesting results. When that fails, I turn to social commentary from Penny Arcade, PVPonline, Order of the Stick, Girl Genius, Questionable Content, xkcd, and Goblins. Recently, <a href="http://indexed.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Indexed</a> has joined in for a probationary period. I get all my news from the 12 Angry Men email discussions.

Then came the late but definitely not lamented TimeSelect, which pushed me to read the Washington Post. Turns out I liked the WaPo better in general. The main reason to see the NYTimes for Science Times, which is really nice. Otherwise, I read The Atlantic, online these days, after over ten years of subscription. I like Megan McArdle's Asymmetrical Information (http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/), among others. I got a subscription to The New Yorker but don't read it much so I think I'm going to let it lapse (or give it to my dad). I read The Economist from time to time. Was a long standing NYTimes reader.
