As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've been reading my blog and how much you pay attention, I do not read the news very often, nor listen to it on the radio, nor watch it on tv. I occasionally try, maybe a few times a month, and every time I do, I get depressed. I mostly get my news from scanning headlines in RSS feeds, or from the Boing, or from hearing other people talk about it, or sometimes The Daily Show. Sometimes I learn things on Sunday mornings as I'm digging through the paper for the Times Magazine (which I read cover to cover every week, my noggin's one regular foray out of the sand.)

Been getting a little more since joining Twitter, 'cos those NYT headlines are right there.

This Sunday I learned that people are blogging themselves to death, and that it's more dangerous to be a professional blogger if you're over 40 and have a bad heart. Yup, and it's more dangerous to be alive if you're over 40 and have a bad heart. I think the longer you're alive, the more likely you are to die. Isn't that how it works?

And just now, I've learned that Princess Diana was "unlawfully killed".

Unlawfully.

Doesn't... I mean... is there a lawful way to do that?
