General skepticism and US politics The 2 percent Company (often contains language NSFW)

Biology and creationism Pandas thumb
Statistics and number crunching Good math, Bad math

And finally some dedicated sites that most people can use for medical references

Net Doctor
The British National Formulary free registration, has some info but you really need the book for it to make sense (most libraries will have a copy)
Monthly Index of Medical Specialities Has a limited free trial. Use it wisely
Chemist and Druggist magazine Pharmacy articles
NHS Hitting the Headlines Details accuracy of recent media stories

The edit time?

I can probably alter that - somewhere....

If we get a good list of links, I'll tidy it all up anyway.

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ has complete texts of the Bible, the Quran and the Book of Mormom with some interesting analysis (not all of which I agree with, I have to say)

Can be very useful if engaged in debate with literally-minded religious types - or even if you're just looking for some mud to sling

Mainly Anti vax The millenium project

There's more to it than anti-vax, and don't forget the companion site The Green Light, linking to sites providing good information. The Millenium Project was set up to "name and shame" sites providing bad info, or as Peter Bowditch puts it "This web site is devoted to the millenium of sites which don't deserve a place on the Web. We are not putting them on a pedestal - we are offering them a stool."

[Mojo]

A good site for stuff about homeopathy: The British Veterinary Voodoo Society: Aimed at vets, but the four articles at the top of internal links are very good about homoeopathy generally. Oh, and the "Complaints Department"!

Bandolier: "Evidence based thinking about health care".

Another one if you can read medical papers

Pubmed "...free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature."

and whilst not a resource in of itself Bugmenot has a large database of Usernames and Passwords for registration sites (nearly all for the annoying free e-mail culling ones it has the occassional paid access). If you use Firefox an extension is available here that puts it in the toolbar and context menu as well

I've just set up Google's new Alerts service at http://www.google.com/alerts to email me once a day with any news stories that mention astrology or homeopathy.

It could be a useful tool to keep track of paranormal news stories.

Here's a lovely story about how science works from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4950876.stm
