CURRENT FAVS: Not endorsed by me, just sites I thought you might find interesting

The Smoking Gun -- where you find out what is really going on
http://www.whitehouse.org  A satiric look at today's White House
Pimp Hats.com --where one can obtain their "players" headgear  www.adasam.com -- where if one clicks on Dollars N Dibble, you come upon a board game about rival drug dealers fighting over turf. 
Los Angeles Coroner -- where you can get custom made toe tags and a body bag garment bag.  This one is legit, it goes to fund a "scared straight" youthful offenders program
All Things Blaxploitation -- a blog whose name speaks for itself.
