News burnout

2002-10-22 19:10:49+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Sigh. I realize that there are a couple of topics that people probably expect me to cover that I'm burned out on. Lots of my favorite blogs are covering topics that I see as further depressing continuation of the status quo. For instance, it's not really news to me that the Bush administration cares more for the life of the baby than the mother (via Medley) or that The Heritage Foundation thinks women should marry and breed rather than getting an education (Medley again). Yes, Iraq releasing prisoners, even those held for political beliefs is a PR ploy. But even beyond politics, the fact that there is a person out there stupid enough to try to streak a hockey game (and who then falls on the ice and knocks himself unconscious) doesn't even phase me. So sorry, if you're looking for actual news my contributions will be sparse.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
