INTERNET POLITICS

I have thought a bit about this:

The YouTube Revolution

I realize that I am almost totally engaged with the internet for my political interests and reactions.

We have no television and, while I cherish my run through of the morning paper, all the print news comes up a day late.

In the LATimes now and, to some extent, in the firewalled NYTimes, the op-ed is a bit quaint and irrelevant.

I savor the political blogs, look at the video out takes. All of it.

I am not worried about politicians becoming overly pr-sensitive; always on.

I think that they are that way anyhow. The amazing thing is that they are often 'on' about really stupid shit and show their stuff without any level of self awareness. The ego takes over and all balance is lost. You do see the man or woman for what they are.

All you have to do is watch the overly earnest george bush and you will get what I mean about this.

Anyway, Pandora's box has been opened. You can't put it all back in.

I like that there is always something new coming around the bend. That alone has to keep the cheats and liars on their toes.
