I actually watched more TV today than I have in a year. Football, which I quit watching some time ago, and 24 - for the first time. It is a good show. But all that isn't what really sucks. What does, is how you get sometimes with blogging - caught between too much to post or link - and nothing. It's sort of an information limbo where you see or read so much stuff you get sick of it, perhaps.
Another thing - if you read blogs regularly, it's easy to get sick of so many blogs talking about the same thing, especially the large blogs. It isn't like you can't predict what they'll be posting on from wire reports, or Drudge.
But, whatever - here's some of what I have seen around. Apparently PJM has a Mondo Hollywood blog which led me to this from the LA Weekly - what a bizarre tale. British politician George Galloway was on TV crawling around drinking milk from a saucer - no, I'm not kidding. I read a few items at the American Spectator blog - got there from reading on the House elections for speaker and whip. Everyone is talking about Shadegg, or whatever his name is. I'm not a party guy so I'm staying out of it, but it is interesting to note that if he emerges as Speaker, he is from AZ, which could help McCain. I have mixed feelings about that. But then, I have mixed feelings about every politician, truth be told.
I also read some good stuff at Ace's place, if you want to check that out.
So much for this blogger's current curse - TMI, but not in the mood to post.
Dan.......
We've got it all right here! Why check other blogs?
However, I must admit, I check Huff's Dark Side now and again. But that is because I have a Dark Side......and you recommended his site!

Dan,
That 'limbo'.... it's called 'Suckness'. I read it in some magazine last night..... very funny. They described it as the state where you know you need to move away from your screen but can't. Like, your screen has created a 'suckness' with your being. Meanwhile, the world is moving on............... :)
(I made that last part up.)

Ring, ring...
"Work."
"Yes. This is Dan calling."
"Hi, Dan! How are ya?"
"I'm sick. I can't come in today."
"Ohh. I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yeah."
"Is everything all right? Do you have the flu?"
"No. Just a bad case of Suckness."
"Oh."
