My blogging is definitely in summer mode. I have little interest in substantive stories, especially this morning. So, feel free to comment as you like. A couple of things: Mitch Daniels has some ads up that play fast and loose with the facts; Linda Pence is gearing up her Attorney General campaign; Jill Long Thompson has a Lt. Governor candidate picked out but isn’t telling who it is right now; the Evansville Courier Press says that we need to make more of an effort on full-day kindergarten so we don’t pay more in remedial costs down the line.
Also, coffee makes me re-think my lack of religion since it’s clear that if there was a God, coffee would be evidence of his affection. Jack Black is awesome and is on TV promoting his panda movie. And the morning news shows are vultures, today in the form of looking for an excuse to air video of a car hitting a pedestrian.
This has been stream-of-consciousness theater.

I have been meaning to pay this compliment to Masson’s Blog: in the same way that you roam the forest of mainstream media and culture, picking out interesting items, pondering them and sharing them, you are like the first shrew-like mammals that appeared in the Jurassic Period, who, according to some scientists, wiped the Dinosaurs from the face of the earth by stealing their eggs. You and your type go largely unnoticed, but every day, biding your time, you chip away at the thunder lizards. Well done.
I am no good at linking to other pages or images of the first mammals. Maybe someone can do that in honor of Masson Blog.
Dude, I’m totally with you. Unless there is news of another Lake County Democrook scandal (coming on average one a week), I can’t blog!
Thanks!
Though, I’m more parasitic than the shrews. If the dinosaurs die off, I’ll have nothing to blog about.
Doug –
Your comment on coffee parallels Benjamin Franklin’s observation:
May God bless you with your choice of beverage.

As a former 10-year veteran of print journalism (I got out in 1995), I say to you that the day will come sooner than most believe when you and the bloggers will emerge from your hovels, look across the media landscape and find that you are the only vertebrates on two or four legs.
