Our media: A study in peripheral preoccupation.

Pretty much all they could talk about at Mr. Obama’s press conference today was the non-links between Mr. Obama and Mr. Blagomumble.

An analogy: If they were standing on a corner within ten feet of a firey crash between a loaded school bus (we’ll call it “the economy”) and a loaded ambulence (we’ll call it “Iraq”), they would be too busy trying to stare down the dress of the lady next to them to notice the ruckus in the street.

Fortunately, Mr. Obama could give poise lessons to Cary Grant.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
