Other web sites I like:
Of course everyone who has a web site has to have a links page so here's mine. These are sites either that I'm in the habit of visiting often or that I find useful.

News
These are the sites I visit to learn about current events. Many of these sites also have good feature articles and commentaries.
The Daily Telegraph: Sure the New York Times or Washington Post may be the American papers of record, but I like getting a British perspective
Dayton Daily News: An ugly, poorly-designed site with an annoying registration requirement, but worth visiting for me as a Daytonian because it covers Dayton (as does the Dayton City Paper).
Queer Day: Blog or news site? Whatever you call it, it's updated daily with news from around the globe that affects gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies (in other words, queers)
Salon: Another web magazine, similar to Slate, but definitely independent (you have to watch a short commercial each day to get a pass to read the articles, but it's worth it if you're too cheap to subscribe [plus you can background that window, do something else and come back when the commercial is over)
Slate Magazine: Yes, it's owned by Microsoft but it has good articles on issues in the news and about life in general
The Village Voice: The Voice has good news coverage and interesting features (including Savage Love -- scroll down to find it).
Wired News: News from a techno/geek perspective but about all issues
