Many of my favorite sites don't require excerpting, and I try to use them a lot.
The Sacramento Bee does, but nobody else has the analysis of California State Government that they do.
The San Francisco Chronicle also does, and they are the window on soul of blue-state California. And the Chronicle is home to my favorite columnist (see my home page if you don't already know who). For all its faults, nobody's AP wire is quicker than SFGate (Well, maybe the Bakersfield Californian, but I wouldn't dream of poaching there).

poaching is legal with attribution,, as long as ya eggcerpt where due
it just makes it easier for some freepers is why I mention it, and saves a click or two and a registration or cookie at every site in the free world. ;-)
