The Al Franken Show on  AirAmerica Radio blog

 

Seriously, the funniest and best radio show in America.  Starring Al Franken, former SNL star and writer of excellent books like "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them."

Dave Barry's Blog

 

Seriously, the funniest thing on the web.  Yes, even better than ENN.  Go to this site, click on a few of the random links, and you will be laughing.  Hilarious.

You won't believe it until you see it.  The random bits of English all over Japan are often cute and occasionally HILARIOUS.  This website has an extensive collection of the latter.  Please enjoy!

Bob, my roommate, rages poetic at his official blog.  Go check it out.

The Vitonet brings you 100% Pure Awesome, 24 hours a day.  This excellent site is maintained by David, one of Erik's fans living in Michigan.  Work it, Dave!

An entertaining and exciting website, with brilliant design.  From Josh, a fellow former English teacher.  See him featured in the Japan Photo Album!

 

Are you tired of looking at the same thing on your computer desktop?  Go to National Geographic's site for FREE copies of their world-famous photography for your desktop background or screensaver.

THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA

www.electronicintifada.net

 

A great website that points out the extreme media bias against the Palestinians.  See for yourself if you don't believe it...

  

www.haaretz.com 

 

Ha'aretz, one of Israel's most popular newspapers.  Forget CNN's coverage, this gives it straight from the Middle East, and is far more balanced than any US media, in my humble opinion.

 

Has an excellent "Breaking News" section, with the latest events in Israel/Palestine.  

 

BBC NEWS

www.bbcnews.com 

 

The best all-around news site I've found on the net.  Get away from CNN and FoxNews, and go to the original all the time news source.

 

Great perspective on US news, and much better coverage of world events than any US media outlet.  Check it out.

 

The Onion

www.theonion.com 

 

When you've checked out all the other "news sources," try this excellent newspaper for all of the day's most important stories.  Wow.

The Internet Movie Database

This amazing website has information about literally every film ever made.  You can look up your favorite movie, check the "Goofs," see the cast list, look at your favorite actor's biography...  and much more.  This is great to visit right after watching a movie.  You can read the reviews of movie experts, and post one of your own if you want!

 

Boyz II Men

 

The best popular music group in history.  This website, maintained by an even bigger fan than me (yes, it is possible), has a great collection of photos, up-to-date news on the group, as well as a bank of lyrics and reviews of their music. 

Don't forget to buy the latest Boyz II Men CD, "Throwback!"
