I can't focus on Obamacare, Iran, Wall Street bailouts, Democrat fiendishness and GOP wussiness 24-7; my brain would simply explode.
So I have other places I like to surf to from time to time. and I'd like to get suggestions from other Freepers.
Please post your favorites...if possible steer clear of hot button issues we see here on FR all the time (gun rights, abortion, immigration etc).
Here are some of my top sites:
Shorpy
If you have even a moderate interest in American history, you'll love this. Historic photos from the Civil War through the 1950's in stunning high resolution.
The Old Car Manual Project
If you are a car buff, and click this link, your productivity for the rest of the day will flatline. Don't say I didn't warn you!
McSweeney's
This is IMO the funniest writing on the internet today. Great parodies, some a little political, but mostly poking fun at 21st century "intellectual" culture.
Lifehacker
You may already know about this one. Great tips on how to optimize your computer, your laundry bin, and your retirement plan. If you want to start going Galt and reduce your Obama economy footprint, there are hundreds of spending-reduction suggestions to be found here.
Wondermark
My favorite webcomic. Mostly just plain funny, but about once a month, he comes through with a strip that really speaks to the Freeper worldview.
Great! Thanks.
I read this at that McSWEENEY’S site .
“A CLEARLY INNOCENT MAN EXPLAINS TO HIS CELLMATE HOW HE LANDED IN WHATCOM CO. JAIL.”

I’m definitely bookmarking.
My favorite day dreaming site - looking for islands to buy.
We should all pool our money and buy an island -- FReeper Island. < :)
FReepers used to have a *virtual* island, but this one would be real.
UNUSED AUDIO COMMENTARY BY HOWARD ZINN AND NOAM CHOMSKY, RECORDED FOR THE RETURN OF THE KING
Iowahawk could not have done better.
ping ping
So of course I couldn’t wait to get there.....
If you’re done with that horrible noise, I’ll call you
Bring a Trailer has a lot of old and unusual cars, some for sale.You can spend a lot of time here, it kind of sucks you in. http://bringatrailer.com/
All done. I had a valve in backwards.
