Interesting Web sites: This helpful site from the Annenberg Foundation called FactCheck.org was launched just in time for the run up to the presidential election. The site claims to monitor the factual accuracy of what the politicians say by researching their statements in the media. They provide an analysis of the statement and present all sources used in arriving at the opinion - whatever it turns out to be. An ingenious idea and much needed in the campaign climate! The site has only been up for a month, so there is not a great deal of articles in the archive, but it will be a good place to come back to from time to time as we inch toward November!


The U.S. Census Bureau has made it easy to find the latest data on racial and ethnic populations in the United States. Just go to Minority Links to find lots of information gathered in one place.
