What periodicals and websites besides the Wasteland do you dudes read?
I know SoCal only reads TPMuckraker, Daily Kos and Huffington Post, but how about the rest of ya?
My intake is:
Periodicals:
Chicago Tribune (to see what the libs are cooking up)
Wall Street Journal (for actual news and great op/ed pages)
National Review (to see what's really going on)
Harper's (bleeding heart lib rag that occasionally makes a good point but shows me what the left is thinking about with more flawed analysis than the Trib)
BusinessWeek
Websites:
jdunderground.com (motivates me when I think my job sucks)
abovethelaw.com (discusses comp and other matters related to big firms)
Yahoo! (for misc. daily crap like sports scores)

My favorite are the posts that list the players that will be on the team next year and then express awe at how awesome the team is supposed to be. "We'll have Chet Frazier, David Palmer, SonderGorny, Rodney Alexander and JR Angle?!?! I smell Final Four!" |

Totally. The sheer amount of delusion on there is almost enough to get me high. Between the "we'll be the awseomest next year!" sentiment and the hilariously childish hatred of all the people who have "wronged" the Illini (Pearl, Self, "IDKWTI," Sampson, etc), it's totally worth reading every day.
I love the blind Zook love too. "When Ron Zook works out..." Priceless.

Then again, to be fair, it's not all that different than our FB boards were two years ago. Sans the childish "Bruce Pearl is Satan" crap, anyway.

I tossed up a post after the Tennessee/Memphis game asking who was a better Coach of the Year candidate - Bruce Pearl or Keno Davis? I noted how both show the integrity and skill of the Tom Davis tree. Holy shit, you'd a thought I was a member of the Westboro Church. Those dudes were not impressed.

LOL, awesome. Yeah, in some 2008 Record Prediction thread on the FB board there, I made a comment about how eerily similar their predictions were to our board's a couple years ago. It was actually very polite and well-reasoned, but well, you know. And then my response post (wherein I completely owned some little bitch - "cheifillinirushinggame" or some such asinine handle) got deleted. It was great.

Not to start a bitch-fest, but I am a bit surprised at the number of folks here who claim to still peruse HN. Getting banned over there taught me that I can get all of the Hawkeye news/opinions I need elsewhere. And doesn't cost me a dime. To each their own though...  |
