Sometimes my reading material is all online. So I'm wondering what other forums/websites/blogs the rest of you read.

I participate int he student doctor network forum and regularly lurk around but do not participate in the wahm.com forum.

I also have this embarrassing habit for reading all the not so new-worthy stories that Yahoo news puts up. (Think "70 year old woman has child" type of stories).

I have on occasion got sucked into yeshiva world news or vos iz nayis but I usually try to avoid them as I find a large amount of the posters have different hashkafic outlooks than I do and very often a male poster will dominate conversation by basically yelling at any female poster that she is going against daas torah by having an opinion and calling any male poster who has a different opinoin an am haaretz who clearly is less experienced/less of a talmid chochim than this all powerful poster. Imamother is much more open to having an actual debate.

I read hashkafa.com sometimes but find they're basically a clique and not so open to people who have different opinions than they do. So I've never actually posted anything there.

I used to go on frumsatire.net but found they were pretty hostile to people who actually liked being frum and following halacha. I tried to make my point but kept getting shouted down and finally decided I was wasting my time.

I read quite a few political blogs:

debbieshlussel.com

frontpagemag.com (if you read nothing else for your political news read this)

michellemalkin.com

anncoulter.com

intellectualconservative.com

davidlimbaugh.com (Rush's brother)

jpfo.org (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms)

I dunno, is it obvious I lean toward the right politically?
I also read Miriam Adahan's blog.
