So, am I suffering from writers block or have I developed some aversion to updating my website? Don’t quite know.
I know I’m very upset with the current state of America (that’s no shock there). I’m pissed off at the administration, I’m pissed of at the so-called “liberal media,” and I’m pissed at people who are continually suckered by the previous two. Everyday I’m outraged and everyday I want to write about it, but I don’t express it here due to the repetitive nature my posts would take.
I cancelled my newspaper subscription today. I used to be an avid newspaper reader, but it’s not interesting to me anymore. It glosses over the real problems both at home and abroad on top of the fact that it’s always a day late: I get my news online now and analysis follows about 10 minutes after the news breaks. The only reason I kept my subscription was the comics. It’s the only part I read daily as it was an effortless compilation of daily humor.
What do I do? I read blogs like Daily Kos, Talking Points Memo, and Wonkette (the last being a funny political/social gossip page). I also still read Salon and the news wires on Yahoo. Through these, I can follow links to articles and documents that provide a much sharper view of events than broadcast and dead tree news can provide (also see my January 21, 2004 entry about this subject).
Well, that’s all I have for now, and I’ll give everyone an update on my life next time around (unfortunately, not much is happening!)
