i read the morning newspaper, watch the morning local and world news on television, and watch the evening local and world news on television. basically it's the same stuff AP and UPI feed the internet sites. i then use my brain and my life's experiences to formulate what opinions i have on current events. i have absolutely no desire to get caught up in the o'reilly/coulter/van impe/limbaugh world of weirdos and whack-jobs...
