And became famous on that day in November

I still love Postal Service, will check out Death Cab for Cutie in my "free time".

It’s ok if you’re a Brit and still wondering about this whole “blogging” idea. It’s slowly catching on in the States which means it will be another year or two before it becomes common currency here.

I am new to it myself. I started reading blogs at the end of the summer last year, when the media was gyro-flexing itself into new and unusual pasta shapes over the American presidential election.

But that's a subject for a different post.

Yesterday, Open Source Media listed fifty blogs in their "Who Knew?" Carnival and my submission "Re-thinking" got listed. Really interesting posts from some fantastic blogs so I'm thrilled to be in such company, read the whole thing here.

Andi of Andi's World is a blogger who was invited to Washington DC to present at a news conference that was highlighting the world of "milbloggers". I watched her clip as well as Michael Yon's, went to her - great - website and have signed up for her 14 day "Push Back". Read about it here.

She's put up the first post, to start the ball rolling, and it's a lot to live up to but I have until December 1st to get over my idea of exposing Sodhim Hussein for the D-list romance writer that he aspired to be! Andi's much more sensible and grown up post on US media bias is here.

See, it's not just the BBC who's biassed against the war in Iraq, although there's no excuse for the BBC which is funded by a tax on every tv set in the country. Weird or what? You queue up at the post office every year and buy a licence for your tv and this money goes to the BBC and no one else. So it's a tax, very simple concept to understand...

Therefore they don't have commercial pressure to gain and increase audience viewing figures. But they're all trying out for the well paid commercial stations, which explains the sensationalism, anti-Americanism and pro-terrorism stance. Prove me wrong! I'd be thrilled. What I am is late.
