This isn't so much a point of discussion, but I found a website that I rather enjoy. I have long read Rolling Stone because despite obstensibly being a music magazine, they have some interesting alternative political viewpoints than what is often out there. This website is a good aggregation of some of the better ones. Many of their stories are on what's wrong in America today, and although it they are not "fun" to read, they are fascinating, and in my, mind, necessary.
