Recommended Reading

Recommended ReadingHave you noticed the “Recommended Reading” section on the top left of the LikeTheDew.com home page? It is a new feature.

Most mornings, LikeTheDewers get up really, really earlier (okay, at least one Dewer stays up really, really late) and scour the web for the most interesting or important news of the day. These aren’t necessarily the breaking stories. They are stories you are less likely to have seen, but we feel may be too important to miss. Often esoteric sites. Generally a couple with a Southern slant. A couple on politics. Or journalism. Take a look tomorrow. When you click on a a headline, you’ll be taken directly to the story.

We also have set up an archive of recently recommended stories (some with excerpts, some not – still a work-in-process). You can view it by clicking here.

Give us your feedback on this feature. Tell us what you like or don’t like or what you’d like to see more of. Email: recommendedreading@likethedew.com

    This Dew falling into my computer each day is refreshing, informative and full of good memories. Keep that dew falling.

    On behalf of Dewers everywhere, thank you for the beautiful thought, but since dew rises, perhaps that is rain falling into your computer?

What is CAPTCHA and why do I have to enter it to post a comment?

Quick answer: Look at the picture (below) that contains letters. Type those letters in the CAPTCHA Code box.

Longer explanation: Our comment system now requires a CAPTCHA test (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" for all comments (unless you have registered and are logged-in). CAPTCHA is an image of letters that is dynamically generated (click the speaker icon to hear it or the arrows to load another test that may be easier to read). The letters, because they're part of an image and not text (e.g. text that you could cut and paste), are difficult for a spambot or other computer program to read. Yet, a person has little trouble reading the letters in a captcha image and then typing them into the form. Using a captcha test on our website is a great way to ensure, for instance, that a person and not a spambot is filling out a web form (we used to get 100 or so spam comments every day which our volunteers had to wade through). Also, a captcha can make it difficult for a person to continuously resubmit form information and overwhelm our comment function. If you hate CAPTCHA, just register on LikeTheDew.com and login (registration is on the bottom left of our home page) and you won't be stopped by CAPTCHA.

About the author Lee Leslie: I’m just a plateaued-out plain person with too much time on his hands fighting the never ending lingual battle with windmills for truth, justice and the American way or something like that. Here are some reader comments on my writing: “Enough with the cynicism. One doesn’t have to be Pollyanna to reject the sky is falling fatalism of Lee Leslie’s posts.” “You moron.” “Again, another example of your simple-minded, scare-mongering, label-baiting method of argumentation that supports the angry left’s position.” “Ah, Lee, you traffic in the most predictable, hackneyed leftist rhetoric that brought us to the current state of political leadership.” “You negative SOB! You destroyed all my hope, aspiration, desperation, even.” “Don’t you LIBERALS realize what this COMMIE is talking about is SOCIALISM?!?!?!” “Thank you for wonderful nasty artful toxic antidote to this stupidity in the name of individual rights.” “I trust you meant “bastard” in the truest father-less sense of the word.” “That’s the first time I ran out of breath just from reading!” “You helped me hold my head a little higher today.” “Makes me cry every time I read it.” “Thanks for the article. I needed something to make me laugh this mourning.” “If it weren’t so sad I would laugh.” “Amen, brother.”
