Can’t get any posts done because I can barely bring myself to follow the “news”. What I do see doesn’t merit thought, much less comment. Obama’s worshippers grow ever fouler and stupider, apparently Scalia thinks the 2nd Amendment is in trouble (not that it can be repealed, of course), and now Mike Bloomberg is hiding baby formula in hopes of increasing breast-feeding.
Sorry. I really like you guys, but I can only suffer so much. My reactions to the media keep getting more extreme, like a worsening allergy to bee stings.
Nobody here thinks you’re under any obligation to post. I think you should pull back from it for awhile or even shut it down if it’s making you feel bad. Not everyone’s equally constituted for this stuff. Certainly I’m not constituted well for it, and I don’t even blog.
I would probably do well to follow your example and follow events less, especially opinion and commentary.
Plus (only useful thing I’ve read from Newsweek in a long time) there’s this:

Whenever Worme apologizes for the posting lag, climbs the tower of despair, and rings the knell of doom, a barrage of spritely posts soon follows.
And I fall for it every ****ing time.
Or, no, I mean . . . I expertly deploy reverse psychology every time.
You didn’t post that! Someone else used reverse psychology so you could post that!
