I only skimmed the NYTs this morning. It is like eating gruel. Boring.
These are the page one things that you would know on Friday morning, if your entire world-news view was shaped by the NYT front page. A failed second bombing attack on the London Underground. NY subways initiate random baggage checks to the dismay of civil rights groups. China allows limited fluctuation of its currency. Roberts opinions show him to be very conservative jurist. Rove and Libby e-mailed each other about Wilson damage control at the time of leaks.
It all seems blurry and out of context. None of the smart people at Booman or Kos to give it shape. I am sure the NYTs articles are good – just boring.
Time for a weekend off. I’ll still skim the papers, but I am going into the world of near news-blackout. Becoming one of the ill-informed. I can almost feel the critical thinking brain cells melting away. Need to find distractions.
