Darren & Sandy's Cyberportal is closing. I changed ISP and it's difficult to find this kind of web hosting now. I will continue to search for a new way to share the gardening information I maintained here, probably using the name "Darren's Hortus."

Thanks for using this site for the past 15 years!

Faux News-We distort, you comply

 

Other International Sources

  • Al Jazeera
  • Islam News
  • Al Basrah--anti war, anti-American web site from Iraq.  I do not endorse it, but present it in the interest of impartiality, to help us see what the American Occupation of Iraq is producing in terms of political resistance.  There are lots of photos here.  I doubt that Karl Rove is reading this site.
  • Chiapas Independent Media Center (bilingual)
  • Tibet.com (news from the govt. in exile)
The "Commies"

Terry Gross' Fresh Air--talk show with brains.

Salon comics

Go Fug Yourself--absolutely the only source for cynical Hollywood fashion news.  

Old News Publishing--great articles on famous historical events, like when the Chinese fought against British opium smugglers.

I Tulip.com -- interesting site for information about the stock market.

Dow Jones Industrial averages from 1895 to present--interesting graphs showing key historical events against the backdrop of the NYSE. (must have cookies on)

Blogs by friends

Masters of the Crossroads -- life in the pedagogical trenches of the cultural front line.

Moroukian Blog

 

National Catholic Reporter--this paper represents the left-leaning perspective of the Vatican. It's pro-life, of course, but on other issues, they are far more progressive than most of the GOP Jesus Bullies in Washington DC, or the Minnesota state capitol.
