August 9, 2004

• Every day it seems like I come across more sites to read. News, analysis, opinion, web logs, etc. It is difficult to decide how much to read. Right now, I have too many to keep up with and a list of 8 or 9 more to review.

  Eventually, I’m going to have to trim it down, but it will be a trick to find the balance of:

  * Varying points in the political spectrum (I want to read various points of views)

  * Accuracy (I want to have places that I know I can trust what they write, but I also want to have a couple that have reasonably reliable cutting edge reports)

  * Prolific (It needs to be regular enough to take the time, but not so much reading that I can’t possibly keep up with it)

  And of course, well written and engaging. I’m not sure how many I’d like to get it down to, but it’d be nice to be able to get through all reading (e-mail and web sites) in under an hour and a half.

  Fact Check has done an analysis of the claims made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

  According to The Daily Howler, either Dick Cheney was misinformed about the nature of Kerry’s status as the most liberal member of the Senate, or he was lying when he said to someone in Grand Forks:
  

  “And it’s not based on one vote, or one year, it’s based on 20 years of service in the United States Senate.”

  Intentional or unintentional, it isn’t accurate.

  You probably already know this, but Bush has decided that there should be no provisions for inspections or verification in a new proposed international treaty trying to ban production of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium.
