Keeping up with the “Times”
November 19th, 2006
What’s with this notion that every article updating a previous story should also be required to serve as a stand alone piece? It’s like journalists are told to write everything as if their reader is picking up a paper for the first time in months. That kind of shit is fine for the USA Todays and Newsweeks, but it is not necessary in the daily papers of major cities, especially at a time when the printed word is trying so hard to prove it is not irrelevant.
Blogs easily avoid this fuckvoid by providing a link to a summary of prior events, and then fearlessly blasting away with new details. They can also cure world hunger and psoriasis.

Ah but to stand alone is to introduce the fair reader (gay as they may be) to the notion that you the author are relevant completely out of context with previous publishings.
I’m with you, however.

Hey Mr. Moderation. Enough already. I’ve bee awaiting moderation all my life and it never showed up. Addiction is my friction and fiction and affliction with conviction.

Hey Devin.
Possibly you will post those articles regarding why the Dems are a better governing party that the Repubs.
The real bottom line, for me, is the betterment of myself, with a second emphasis on bettering, or at least creating a sustainable, world.
This seems to me to be mutually exclusive, with either US party.

I guess the notion is that nothing has meaning and has value.

And another notion might be that Devin shows himself.
