My morning paper

Recently I was in one of those conversations comparing the virtues of reading the news online versus reading the print edition of your local paper. To each her own of course, but here's my current morning paper.

First, I like to wake up with some nice and easy stuff.
Cute Overload
Horoscopes
It's nice to know that there's never a really bad day for a Taurus.

Now I'm ready for the front page everywhere.
Slate Today's Papers
Google's constantly updated news about everything from all over the place

Then, some different perspectives on the news.
The Root
The BBC
Small Town Papers
My hometown paper.
It's great to be from a town whose letters to the editor include, "Remember to use your turn signals" next to "Let's Disarm the Nuclear Arsenal."

Now, pick a country. Any country.
12,000 Online Newspapers: 24 hour news
The 2008 Olympics open soon, so let's visit The People's Daily.

Okay, enough serious news. Any good newspaper includes some humor. I go straight to the best.
The Onion
The Colbert Report

Next I want some more personal, deeper local DC news. Check the full list... maybe your town has an -ist.com blog, too.
DCist

How about World News in photos.
Yahoo News Photos

That makes me wonder what Mav and Steph were doing last night.
3191

I spend an hour or two waking up, but now it's gotta be time to go to work. Living in DC, I take the Metro everywhere and hardly ever turn on a radio. This makes me miss NPR. But if it's a weekend morning with time to loiter, it's time to pick a show. Any show.
NPR

You may be thinking, "what no food section?" Ah, that's another post. See Yum. Western Spaghetti and food porn.
