I
just found Google's fast flip which, somewhat like the Firefox add-on
Coolpreviews, lets you view news articles, but in slide show
fashion. Choosing "Politics," I learned from Robert Gates, via the New York Times,
that Obama did Poland, Czechoslovakia and Europe a big favor by
welshing on missile defense. Moving forward, it struck me that
all of the news worth reading, according to fast flip, comes from the
New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, and Salon. But wait .. you
can add more sources from these selections, including the Daily Beast?!?

The casual user will not
know about these choices, but still, by including the National Review
and frontpage as electives, Google staffers are satisfied to have
covered the gamut from political moderates to right wing fanatics.
Thanks Google. For those of you still underwhelmed, you can
get the same service from Free Republic, which covers every publication on Planet Earth.
