Chris Roach is
disgruntled with the lack of quality content on blogs these days.
I've realized in reading different blogs that so much of what is offered on blogs is the intellectual equivalent on junk food, and this defect exists as much on the right as on the left. Pile on fests against the "hate object" of the day get blogs to link to one another and create a frenzy of self-congratulation. Other blogs have reconceived of their role as media watchdogs, constantly trying to find some oversight, misstatement of fact, or evidence of bias. What was once a happy byproduct of so many people reading the news, commenting on it, and being able to communicate their insights widely has become for some their raison d'etre. Finally, by focusing so intently on the news, the day to day, and one's personal experiences, most blogs lack historical perspective of any kind, and thus most blogs, like the media whom they follow so closely, don't have anything interesting to say on current events.
Jim Treacher is on
the same wavelength.
Can you believe that politician? How do these guys think they can get away with this stuff? That party is always pulling crap like this. Throw the bums out!

The thing that one blogger said was stupid and dumb. Get a clue, jerk.
A member of the mainstream media made a mistake. Stop stealing your paycheck, member of the mainstream media!
Tipjar on the right.
Meanwhile, I have
nothing to add.
