I Stanch the Fire Hose For You

One of the Washington Post's writers assigned himself the self-punishing task of watching all the TV pundits all the time for 24 hours. He writes about it here.

Money quote:

There's a colorful analogy for living in an age of information overload. When I couldn't remember it, I went to Google and typed in "analogy" and "information overload." Twenty-six hundredths of a second later, after combing through the published thoughts of millions of people, the search engine served up a 6,100-page hierarchy of Web hits sorted by frequency of recent usage. And there it was, second from the top:

"Information overload is like drinking from a fire hose."

As I say over to the right, it's what I'm here for, so you don't have to.

But check out the story, it gives a pretty good picture of what you're missing by being normal.

Oh, wait.

Who is Michael Savage, and can there possibly be more than a handful of feebs who tune him in?

I check. Michael Savage is the third-most popular syndicated radio host in the country. He has 10 million listeners, which is more people than read the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, combined.
