I am trying like all getout to find interesting Web sites for my and my three surfers' delectation, only to discover it's impossible. An example: I go from a Free Republic link and redirect to some pablum on a fifth-rate portal about Teeny Tiny Tommy and his new best friend (written by someone who "teaches high school English in Lafayette, Louisiana [and] worked in the White House correspondence office in 1990-1992.") After enduring it and several annoying popups I clicked onto the home page and a link to something called NewsWaX (the usual shock-jock pinups; no Alexa rating) and from there onto two stories on a Norwegian broadcaster's site about Paris's alleged bad breath and a couple of goons in an eyeball-rolling PR stunt to save the rainforest. In making such u-turns I wasted my time and was no closer to finding another decent Web site. It must be out there. Where is it?

Now I understand why I have trouble getting hits.
