I'll cruise Human Events once in a while, maybe once or twice a month.  It's hard to hit everything everywhere.  I guess we all have our patterns and preferences, works though, we have enough eyes scouring the digital landscape, little should ever get by us!

That's exactly right -- we rarely miss anything. 

The thing is trying to keep it all organized into some coherent order.   ::whatgives::

I'm relieved if you fix up my posts--so it's not out there hanging--all stupid like....

Anytime, ma'am, and thanks to everybody for "getting it".

I think there's something positive to be said for a site like ours that I wish would be recognized by a larger audience. We of course offer our .02ยข, but even more than that, we aggregate the news from news aggregation sites.

One would think that amongst all the top blogs and news aggregation sites, there would be almost universal redundancy from one to the next, but that's not the case. Of course they all hit the main news stories, but the secondary things they choose to focus on provides a wide variety. We cherry-pick from them all, and bring the best here.

Hot Air though, has become a site that carries little that one cannot find easily elsewhere, and as I said earlier, they are often late to a story. Still, I go there out of habit. Their front-page format is clean and well organized.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

It was.

I am starting to look elsewhere for my stuff.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Here's where I'm putting twitter to use. Following tons of conservatives--websites & people-- helps me filter out the interesting from the boring.  In a couple of minutes  I can peruse tweets and discover any links I want to read without having to go to every specific site to check.

Facebook can also be used like that.  "Like" Human Events and I get every Doc Zero column dribbling down my wall.  ::thumbsup:: 

That's who I read there more often than not.

Good idea.

Hey, I may just try this "Twitter" thin gy . . .
