As you'd expect from my previous rantings, I also follow mises, antiwar,
and lewrockwell - I think both the latter are closely affiliated with
the former. One of the best things about Lew's site is that most of its
writers approach freedom-related issues from a religious and culturally
conservative viewpoint, that is, it shows the world you don't have to be
an orgy-going pot-smoker to be a libertarian. Not that I have anything
against anyone who is..... :-)

I also like spiked-online.com, a British site that has unconventional
views on a lot of things (opposing the bans on fox hunting and public
smoking, for example.)
I also read counterpunch.org, though that's most DEFINITELY a lefty
site.
Finally there's exile.ru, yes it's in Russia, run by a couple of loony
American expats. Mostly humor, some of it quite vulgar, but some
interesting viewpoints. My absolute favorite is a column called "The
War Nerd", a guy who is into military history and writes critiques of
different wars, past, present and future. Unfortunately this is a
webzine that updates only once every couple weeks or so, so it hardly
qualifies as a "fast news" site.
