That nap did me a world of good. Perhaps we don't speak of the same thing. I really don't distinguish between blogs (ET, Kos, Steve Gilliard, Juan Cole,etc) and news sites (Common Dreams, antiwar.com). They're places I go to, almost every day, to get news, opinion  and analysis. At this point in time,I trust them much more than the mainstream journals. If I can participate in the discussion that's even better, and if the web sites can change things, thats much better. If they say they need money then I like to send something, to, well, pay my share. I never question what they do with the money nor do I care.
It's just my small way of saying "Fuck You" to the establishment.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
