...getting a little tired of the "b" word.
Blogs are blogs. They're opinion. Yes, they are belleweathers, but do they actually affect, say, more than the 10% most engaged voters? Do they attract the majority of funding?
Or are they an exercise in meaningless "mee mee mee" self-aggrandizement?
Ok, they bring serious thought to the exercise of American elections, but in the end, the election is still about who lies the best.
I dunno. I'm just suspicious, I guess. How long until bloggers are replaced by something else equally obscure? And when do we get our country back? Or is this it? 24X7 chatter about chatter about chatter? While China eats our lunch as the first neo-fascist state in the 21st century? While speculators destroy housing, eat up entire industries, like, say, the media, and continue to bubble vast amounts of cash culled from us dopes?
I guess I'm wondering why we think YearlyKOS is all that important. But maybe the question is its own answer.
