It’s all about me

Published by Karl under OTA, Personal

Deciding what to blog sometimes is just as hard as writing it.  There are too many viable topics.

Al Gore always makes for interesting commentary, but even I can only call him a parasite so many times before the point gets old.

Parasite!

Sorry I had to, I guess I had one more in me.

I parse a lot of sites for stories.  SisterToldjah.com, MichelleMalkin.com, Hotair.com, StopTheACLU.com and most importantly Memeorandum.com all provide excellent information to stories on a broad range of topics, while EffWa.org and Soundpolitics.com offer great local coverage.

Of course the left provides its own entertainment.  HuffPo, DailyKos.com and Wonkette.com have a great time proving their unhinged nature on a national level, while Horsesass.net and blatherwatch.com provide the entertainment locally. 

Sometimes I post a series of links, or headlines and a bit of commentary.  Sometimes a reference to a topic and detailed commentary.

Sometimes I post videos or cartoons to break the pace and relax.

Sometimes I just think and write how things make me feel, and post the petulant whiney results (like this one).

Blogging provides a lot of things for me.  Stress relief, chance to poke the nose of big events in the world, and a chance to have my voice be heard and make an impact.

And it’s fun.

But sometimes it feels futile.  The events keep rolling right over me sometimes, and it almost feel hopeless.

How can one b-list blogger make a difference.

And yet…I get a lot of feedback from people thanking me for trying, for doing things like keeping the Global Warming Swindle alive so the information continues to flow.

To be clear, I don’t keep posting all the anti-alarmist information for no reason, I do it because the other side of the story matters, and we cannot make informed choices without full information.  And when the media and the traditional outlets will not provide complete unbiased information, how can I not, even if my sphere of influence is limited?
