This is an experiment to see how well I can use stuff from Mixx in my blog. You might remember (or probably don't care) that I once belonged to Digg. Somewhere along the line, I got tired of it and started casting about for another similar site.
I ended up on Mixx. One of the problems with Digg was finding a way to use it with the blog that I liked.
I read a lot of news articles and blog posts and I like to save stuff that strikes me as particularly newsworthy. Mixx is a good place to do the saving. I never know when I might decide to highlight a story like "
Lesbians vs. lesbians" or go back and find something from a few days or weeks ago that relates to something going on now...or post an occasional page of headlines. Whenever I see something I like, I submit it to Mixx. There's a social networking component, but I don't care too much about that. The main thing I'm after is the ability to make an archive of stories I find interesting.
So this is an experiment to see how easily I can cut and paste a page of Mixx submissions with some extraneous comments thrown in. Let me know what you think about it...

The Washington Post did a three-part series on the housing loan crisis and how that mutated into our latest economic meltdown. This is Part One. From here you can access the entire series.

Sigh...A House committee chairman on Friday threatened to hold the head of the EPA and a White House budget official in contempt of Congress for not handing over documents about new smog requirements and a decision blocking California greenhouse gas limits.

I'm not sure if things have improved in Iraq or if our effort in Afghanistan has finally jumped the rails completely, but American and allied combat deaths in Afghanistan passed the monthly toll in Iraq for the first time in May.

Economic news that makes you say, "Duh."
-
Not being Catholic, I'm not sure how much of a breach of protocol it was that Bush called the Pope "your eminence" instead of "your holiness," but it's kind of interesting.
-
Squabbling between the campaigns about how many debates and town hall meetings we're going to be subjected to. McCain's people think he'll do well with the town hall format and want ten of them. Obama doesn't think McCain needs that much free exposure.
-
This was one of the earliest stories about the death of Tim Russert and has most of the stuff you need to know about it.

Politics AND baseball! What fun! Congress wants to hear Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig and players' union head Donald Fehr go over their 2005 testimony on steroids in the sport again.
