Curmudgeonly & Skeptical
Wish you had a personal assistant to go through numerous news sources for you and pick and choose what they thought were the better ones? More than likely all the news links that is on Curmudgeonly & Skeptical is what you would be looking for.
Everyday there are posts about what is going on, all different news topics. The author gives us a little spin on the news by throwing in some personal quotes and thoughts on the entire process. Every post will have a link to the article in question, which is very helpful if you aren't keeping up on everything.
The design of this site is a blogger template, and it is my least favorite of the semi-popular templates. I don't know why I dislike the template, I have since it first was released. However, the author does make good use of the different sections that are created with the template.
Going through the archives is an interesting thing in and of itself. Because this is a news site, you don't really need to go back to the beginning of the sites debut to understand the idea behind the blog. Instead, picking up today and reading it, is just as good as if you had read it from the start. This is one of the better news weblogs that makes full use of this effect.
Over all I have to give the site a 4.5 out of 5 because it is deserving of that score. It is well worth the read, and is very good for keeping up with current events. I would like to see the author invest in getting his own domain for the site, as well as a different design. But those couple of things don't distract from the goal of this site.
