This week PMOG missions have added some new reference websites to my bookmarks and I found a bit weirdness.

Politifact.org

I have heard the name of the website throughout the campaign, but never really took the time to visit it as I figured it was like most of the other fact checking sites.  Yet, thanks to speckledfrog’s mission I was taken to the site and I got to see their truth-o-meters on various statements made by the candidates.  Really clean and quick way to find out the truthfulness of a potential leader’s claim.  BONUS:  Another great site from speckledfrog, ontheissues.org.  The site does its best to show visitors the stance of politicians in each state on a number of issues.

Wisebread

I am pretty damn frugal, but in today’s economy it is only going to get worse.  Wisebread is an informative blog to help users with finances.  The tag line is “living large on a small budget.”  Thanks to PMOG user elke for this one.

Gnovies

Honestly, I have seen some better cloud mapping interfaces, but the idea of Gnovies is solid.  Type in the name of a movie and it will show you a number of similar films.  Suggested by rasputin4, the site offers you a number of choices for movie night when you are in the mood for something comparable to a favorite.

Wig Wam Bam

PMOG user bobcows introduced me to the bubblegum scene.  Growing up listening to oldies, I was already familiar with the concept and many of the songs, but I have never heard the Wig Wam Bam before.  Every once and a while, I like to throw a music video on the site and challenge you to watch it all the way through without bleeding from your eyes.  This would probably fall in that category.

Lampshades

Finally, thekatiest brilliantly designed a mission all about lampshades.  The following how to video is…well…stomach turning, yet enlightening.

BONUS:  I also enjoyed the pudding cup lamp.
