Outrage
Privatization of social security, special elections in California, the ongoing occupation of Iraq...there is so much outrage in the world that I would like to believe some simple pleasures are sacred. Al-b has alerted me that the editors of the NY Times are out to dash my modest hopes...check this (scroll to the bottom of the article.) Some ill advised people are going to end Circuits and replace it with a health and fitness section?!! The "dot-com/high-tech" boom is over? Circuits isn't a dot-com section!!! It's my weekly David Pogue fix! What is the matter with these people? What have I done to deserve this?
OK, deep breath...perspective...
Speaking of what have I done to deserve this--My colleague and I were checking out the Governator's home page the other day to read up on his judicial appointments. We were appalled to find the page surrounded by links promoting the DVD release of Predator and streaming video documenting Arnie's make-up transformation into the Terminator. What has California done to deserve this? It's like a bad dream.
Anyway, I'm taking matters into my own hands. I'm writing a letter to the NY Times and threatening to cancel my subscription! And, I'm going to Sacramento to be in a pain in Arnold's Hummer driven agenda! Ahh...If only such a sense of self-important outrage were enough to keep Circuits alive and send Arnie back into the movies...
