Thanks to all the regulars, semi-regulars, and irregulars here on TBOT, I can keep up with what's going on (and down) in the world without having to read newspapers or watch tv. I get several slants on what is happening concerning things I care about, things I don't care about, and things I wish I didn't know about. My store of knowledge has greatly increased because of your tireless efforts. Give yourselves a round of applause.
I always knew I'd be important one day. My purpose is now fulfilled. Feel free to shoot me now, preferably in the back of the head.
If you really feel this way, you are not only grossly uninformed, but tragically so. News, it ain't. Opinion, mebbeso.
i am in the same boat. and i find that when the media circus starts i have already heard rumors, facts, opinions, and many perspectives while the rest of america is saying, "wait... what happened?" i can actually find myself getting a little frustrated with the 'regular' people cause they are sooo out of the loop!
