I love reading on the

I love reading on the Internet or iPad or Kindle. They all have many advantages. But I still subscribe to magazines (New York, The New Yorker, McSweeney's and The Believer) and I still buy actual books (the latest was You Must Go and Win by Alina Simone).

To me, reading is different in different mediums. I love that the New Yorker sends me a physical issue every week and also gives me access to the iPad edition. I get up really early Monday mornings so my magazine hasn't arrived yet. So I download the issue and read the shorter stuff, saving the features to be read physically, later in the week. It actually augments the editorial process of most any magazine, which usually will give you the current stuff, in short form, right up front and then give more space to the less time sensitive features.

All I'm saying is... I haven't bought a paper in way too long.

An editorial riddle:

Which is correct? 'Yolk is white' or 'yolk are white'?

Also: did you see this article on Jill Abramson?

You send me into at least 25 different neurological sites with this one.

I get a few more bucks this year and I signed up for NYT which gives me a reduced Sunday Times on Sunday and I do not have to count the times I hit the links to the Times. ha

I have already blogged about some of my epiphanies with my now $30.00/month subscription rate. It is more fund for an old man to open up a paper.

Salon wants me to just give them $45.00/yr all at once.

The Washington Post just wants my email.

I did a blog about how I could, if I were rich enough, pay about a thou a year to reach all my wishes on the web, so to speak.

I go to Huffpo, then Daily Beast, then TPM, then Salon, then Think Progress, then Mediamatters....then whatever I am in the mood for.

I currently went over an Esquire article on Newt that is four years old. haahahah

It was there, it was available, it was half gossip from an exwife and I know that I came upon it at least three years ago. This is fun because one can document how Newt is one of the biggest liars of two centuries in America.

I got mad at Buchanan again and Joan Walsh simply regurgitated what I was saying three years ago by critiquing a new book by the NAZI. I have duly logged it and have copied and pasted for another day. I don't know why. Proving Buchanan is a champion of the right, of the white and of the Christian Jihadists is just stating the obvious. Pat does not believe in God for chrissakes. He believes in DNA but I guess I am simply attempting to prove that Buchanan is a member of the new KKK and so are 20%? of our population.

I begin my daily perview of the web with nothing in particular as far as my aims; I see a lie and I wish to pursue for no evident reason.

I am not going to get a nice tidbit about Vasco Da Gama in some old issue of Newsweek for chrissakes, but NYT will give me this.

Then there is the issue of how much someone can assimilate on the web.

There are only so many hours in a day; even for the most worthless of our population.

But print on paper is fun; if folks like Buchanan would honor our forefathers (mothers not so much) the penny paper spread info, spread gossip, spread rumors and sometimes, probably by accident, spread the truth.
