A very good one, the NOLO Legal Encyclopedia. FindLaw hosts the Guide to Legalese by the Mississippi Bar Association, and Law.com has a Legal Dictionary.

A Russian fish? A failed genetics experiment? Nah, it's a sneaky way to try to win an argument. Understanding fallacies and fallacious arguments is very important. It makes us better consumers, voters, and BBR members. Here's a good link, A List Of Fallacious Arguments, which mostly uses common English, instead of the more traditional Latin, for its fallacy names. A downloadable alternate: Logical fallacies index. Some nice examples: Fallacies.

If you want fun science, Discover Magazine's site is fun, as are National Geographic Online and Science News Online. And, of course, there is Scientific American.
If you want late-breaking science news, ScienceDaily News is great.
