in medias res

Archive for September, 2007

I’ve been more than irritated at the media/Youtube/Facebook group handling of this “Jena Six” story, but didn’t really know what to say about it. It behooves the established media, now more than ever with a powerful but un-checked blogosphere, to report known facts about such a sensitive, potentially divisive issue. The story has taken on a life of its own, morphing into some sort of modern day civil rights movement. But finally someone has taken the time to lay out the known facts about the whole case. Props to Todd Lewan from the AP.

Oh crap… he’s from Tennessee

The “Leave Britney Alone!” guy lives here, in my state. I figured that quack had to live somewhere outside of reality, like San Francisco.

The Word on Britney: She’s a Human!!!

Wow. This guy decided he wanted to share his breakdown with the entire world. Enjoy. (A little word of caution– he’s a big fan of the ‘f’ bomb.)
