Now that you have all the new stuff running smoothly, you just need to make a museum. It can include all the old graphics, special posts, authors first posts, your car, photo of the thong, etc. This is a very special place.

Many people jump in and get caught up in the adrenaline rush that goes with the pursuit of a story and the deadline. I have observed that humans usually don't develope the wisdom to fight emotional impulses and discern between what is real and what feels real in their early twenties. So young, impulsive, perhaps well-meaning, certainly agressive people are jumping into the machine and being sucked down the path of least resistance--emotive rather than reasoned reporting. They want to present the story in the most sensational manner possible because that will get them read and that gets them better assignments and sells ad time and it provides a grand rush. Factor in the lack of intellectual integrity and you have yourself a person running around writing stories designed to tell the story they are most interested in telling while calling themselves journalists and getting a paycheck for it.
