How about adding the Cato Institute to the editorial section LN? Lots of good articles on every issue, primarily from a libertarian point of view.

I've found this site to be pretty interesting: http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/

And this one:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/

Both have a pretty good selection of links too.

I have found the following sites useful for general reference research:

National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/

CIA World factbook 2005 (updated regularly): http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/fa ... index.html

World Statesmen (lists of most national, territorial and regional leader or leaders along with varying historical pedigrees): http://www.worldstatesmen.org/

Political Graveyard (historical database of US politicians, delegates and related persons, appointed and/or elected, federal, state and local level, past and present): http://www.worldstatesmen.org/

Respectfully submitted.

Leatherneck: I saw a post of yours in another thread that said you were the great nephew of Cecil Earl McMahan. I am his granddaughter. My mother Cynthia Ann McMahan was his only child born to him and Frances Hamilton Young. She was born June 6th, 1943 and Cecil was killed a year later without even seeing his daughter due to the war. I would like to talk to you and find out what you know about my grandfather, since my knowledge is limited. I know he went to Auburn U., was born in Tennessee, died on D-day or around that date, was awarded the Silver Star, etc. I have a letter he wrote to my grandmother from the war expressing his desire to see his daughter for the first time.... could you email me at jgrove@peak.org. Thanks
