“We live under the happy illusion that we can transfer news-gathering to the Internet. News-gathering will continue to exist, as it does on this Web site and sites such as ProPublica and Slate, but these traditions now have to contend with a new, widespread and ideologically driven partisanship that dominates the dissemination of views and information, from Fox News to blogger screeds. The majority of bloggers and Internet addicts, like the endless rows of talking heads on television, do not report. They are largely parasites who cling to traditional news outlets. They can produce stinging and insightful commentary, which has happily seen the monopoly on opinion pieces by large papers shattered, but they rarely pick up the phone, much less go out and find a story. Nearly all reporting — I would guess at least 80 percent — is done by newspapers and the wire services. Take that away and we have a huge black hole.”

“In a debt-based money system bankruptcies and bank failures can be avoided only by continuous economic expansion. This is an important source of the money world’s growth imperative. The system is designed to create winners and losers, with a bias in favor of the banks that make the money and against the working people and entrepreneurs who produce the real wealth. It is also a system designed to be unstable, because it must either grow or collapse.”

“…’taking on’ insurance companies is suddenly popular. Groups like Move-On, which a few years ago would only talk about extending coverage to children, have changed their tune. But they still don’t get it. It’s not about extending our expensive and unreliable private insurance system to 47 million uninsured, it’s about abolishing a system that requires you to have “insurance” to get care. Private insurance companies make money by avoiding sick people. If you want everyone to get the care they need, you don’t regulate such entities—-you eradicate them.”

iPhone 3G? WHOA! FAST!

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:39:14 -0400

All of you who are yapping and blogging and posting videos about how iPhone 3G is so fast, JUST STOP. STOP IT. We all know that 3G is fast. There were lots of 3G phones before the iPhone came along. If anything, the iPhone is late to the game. It’s not “news,” it’s not “revolutionary,” it’s not special at all. Go fly a kite.

a new tumblelog

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:26:29 -0400

My fiancee & I always wanted to start a blog called “Do NOT Wear That,” so we could share our snobbish viewpoints with the world and poke fun at some of the stuff the fashion industry throws at us. I just realized the easiest thing to do is just make a tumblelog, so here you go: Do NOT Wear That. Hopefully my fiancee can start posting on it soon. Follow if you like :)
