no news is good news

You won't see or hear me bouncing off what's happening elsewhere on the worldwideinterweb very often. I can only consume so much of it to begin with. But the basic problem is that in essence it's commenting on the news. There are many in the world of talk radio who have no program without the function of commenting on the news. The first I ever heard was Stern, some time back in the mid 80's when he was on NBC radio in New York and talking about his prostate. Rush and his ilk rely on the news a great deal, and now the blogosphere does the same. They have lots of dead air to fill. I'm one guy at a keyboard with no qualms about being silent if there's nothing to say.
