... news and information web-sites, usually in the predawn hours of early morning, my hitting upon at least a dozen or thereabouts of them, selected from a bookmarked list of those that have proven themselves to be of some merit.
This morning I realized that over the past month or so, amounting lately to about once in every three or four days, I had been reading what appears to be a somewhat regular feature at BOX TURTLE BULLETIN, a daily Blog our membership will recall has made a career out of reporting upon and admonishing "Religion Nazi" goings on, especially those taking place in troubled Africa. Largely because of that coverage, and the horrific details which seemed for a great long while to emanate daily from it's pages, I found myself avoiding the web-site as if it, itself, had the proverbial plague.
Over the past 10-years I have periodically written about one internet gem, or another, as I have stumbled upon them. TODAY IN HISTORY, a sub-text of nearly each day's THE DAILY AGENDA at BOX TURTLE BULLETIN is just such a feature; one that I find myself looking back and reading in the preceding few days of the Blog's daily coverage.
TODAY IN HISTORY is a topic widely reported by a goodly and disparate number of news services; but, what sets BOX TURTLE BULLETIN'S edition apart from all of the rest is its' completely gay-themed focus, and the in depth coverage of the stories it features. Many, if not most, of these vignettes, are American-centric; but all are significantly off-beat to be of value to readers everywhere for the often arcane knowledge imparted by the feature's authors.
This one too, is worthy of your time.
