Below are a few of my favorite websites.
New York Times > Breaking News, World News & Multimedia: Has a lot of very good articles. There's reason why it is looked upon as the Daddy Rabbit of American news reporting.
Hourly Paycheck Calculator: Calculates what you paycheck would be in any state. Don't know exactly how accurate it is since my paycheck is a bit different. Should give you a good idea of what to expect if you're looking for a job in a particular state.
Eric Margolis : Home: Columnist from the Toronto Sun. Very anti-Bush and neo-conservative. Provides a very fresh take on the major articles in the media. We're being very misled by our media.
REALTOR.com: Real estate listings & homes for sale: Covers the national housing market pretty well. My wife and I are looking for some investment properties. Can't go wrong with real estate.
Karl's Mortgage Calculator: Really handy site to get a good idea of what your mortgage would be.
Leonard Sullivan Oklahoma County Assessor Home Page: Oklahoma county tax assessor's site. A simply outstanding online database of properties in Oklahoma county. If you're looking to buy a pre-existing house in the Oklahoma City area, this is an invaluable tool. Cleveland county has a similar website but not quite as good as this one.
