The New Republic Online: Easterbrook - one reason why bloggers need editors. Easterbrook makes some good points up until the last paragraph, where he has three sentences that attack the Jewish religion which really don't need to be there, as the paragraph still makes sense without them.

The Flaming Lips: Fight Test EP: Pitchfork Review
Nirvana: Nirvana: Pitchfork Review
CNN.com - Girl left home alone released from hospital - Oct. 1, 2003 - this woman is so dumb. For fear of having her child taken away (I assume), she didn't tell anyone about her child who was alone at home for the three weeks she was in jail. I guess she thought someone would take care of her and when she got out everything would go back to the way it was. She was obviously not thinking.

U.S. News: For better or worse, the Internet is radically changing dating and romance in America(9/29/03)
Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Magazine / Gender Games - why don't women want to be different? They have vaginas, men have penises. It's pretty obvious there are going to be some other differences if you take those facts into account. There are some things that women just can't do, just as there are some things that men just can't do. The aggressive, competitive nature of American culture leads to homogenization as everyone wants to be equal to everyone else.

I've been seeing this more and more-- WSJ has an article in it's paper version today that talks about Spyware programs. Awhile back, I read about these in my Web travels and found some good software to prevent against spyware on my system-- Spybot is the name of one of the good ones. It seems that by using RSS and viewing blog link consolidators like blogdex, I am slightly ahead of the traditional news curve. It is as if I am getting news unfiltered, directly from the source, and the newspapers and tv news follows up a few days later with the same stories. I wonder when this will break down the traditional news media because their features no longer are relevant to their viewers.
