Watching America -- it's a filthy job but SOMEONE has to do it.

Following up on a personal e-mail from a few days back (and, yes, I do get around to e-mail when time permits ... and I feel like it ... and you're not a dick), we have a pointer to a web site that's just a bit different.

"Watching America", according to co-founder Robin Koerner, "translates foreign news about the U.S., to enable Americans (and all English speakers) to read what is being written about them and their country throughout the world."

I'm assuming Koerner and his colleagues first filter out the obscenities. Or not.
