Government Lies Caught on Tape....By A 17-Year Old

This is high school journalism at its finest. A 17-year old reporter caught on tape an Army recruiter telling him to forge a high school diploma and cheat at his drug test. Way to set a positive example guys!

If only our country's mainstream media still did investigative journalism. At least Channel 4 in Denver was willing to follow-up on this story.

REVIEW: Revelations on NBC

Well I was lucky enough to be sent a preview DVD on NBC's new series Revelations. I am still not sure what to think about this show. I think at this point I would describe myself as intrigued. It is definitely a show that has the potential to build overtime, this first episode was a lot of introducing characters and setting up the premise. It struck me as a religious oriented X-Files, except instead of 2 FBI agents we have a nun and a scientist/professor (Bill Pullman) trying to explain the unexplainable (and witness the battle between good and evil). The show also has elements of CSI and Medium mixed in. If you think the show would interest you I would definitely give the first couple episodes a try, because otherwise I think one could be totally lost trying to join the series later on.

Information and Entertainment Overload

A few weeks ago I had posted how I was feeling overwhelmed by so much news, information, and information. Well I still haven't found an answer, but I have managed to reduce the number of blogs that I monitor regularly from about 140 to about 75. It is still too many, but it is a definite improvement. Well what's my point? I found this great discussion thread on Metafilter about information overload and a blog entry about entertainment overload. At the very least it is good to know that others are feeling the same overload.

To paraphrase my mom, you can read anything you want, but you can't read everything.
