"alternative" news site

Greg Palast's site.

American moved to Europe because they won't run his stories about Bush, the "election" etc. in American papers.

Especially interesting is this article about why the U.S. media isn't covering the real stories (note - there's a weird security popup when you click this link. Not sure why; its not like you have to pay/register to read).

I give up

I am still shopping for a gift for my Mom for her birthday. This is extra tricky because I'll have to come up with something else in a month for Mothers' Day.

And she never wants anything.

I'd really like to NOT wimp out and get her scented soaps, flowers, or books AGAIN this year.

I call for suggestions. I keep looking.

Update: Had brainwave. Am ordering. Will be late. But will be something she might actually like.
