So I'm totally sick of lefty politics. I listened to Air America Radio this week. I can't stand it. I guess I was mostly listening to the local side of it. Wendy Wild--puhlease, are you trying to sound like a shock jock? And some guy named Ed (I think) is actually Rush Limbaugh without the drug addiction. It's obnoxious. His little advert says "Some people say I'm opinionated..." WELL DUH, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ON TALK RADIO, STUPID.

I'm not trying to be all counter-intuitive here, or even counter-counter-culture. What I am saying is that the Left, in many ways, is no different from the Right. And it's sad. Maybe Howard Dean can help change that now that he's the chair of the Dems. Or maybe Russ Feingold will get louder. Or maybe John Kerry will toughen up. Perhaps John Edwards will start a new project. Who knows?

Grassroots, grassroots, grassroots. It means nothing until the big wigs in DC and in state legislatures actually get some integrity. You've got to play the game--but the game is played in DC, not Montana or Chicago. Whine all you want on the internets, but nothing will change until elected officials stand up for their beliefs. Sure, some aspects of the atrocities this administration have made were sort of brought to light by lefty bloggers, but then what? Nothing gets fixed. Bloggers keep whining. Protesters keep protesting. But nothing really changes. Is it doing any good?

Perhaps within the next few years, they will actually influence mainstream media in a good way. Not just get the media talking or bitching about bloggers, but actually change the way the media conglomerations are run, or change where people get their info. Still, the average person is going to trust NBC (or even CBS) over some blogger any day. And I'm that average some days, too. Cuz guess what--the bloggers are just as biased as the media is.

With that said...I need some new blogs to read. No lefty political blogs--it's boring and scary that these people get so hung up on this shit (even Tom Tomorrow is making my eyes roll). I want fun blogs, like the Sneeze or BoingBoing. Any recommendations?
