I try to read the news on the web each morning but I've yet to master this task. There are just too many options and before I realize it I'm reading some piece of entertainment junk that has no relation to the serious headline that I originally intended to read. Our local paper the pretty much sucks the NYTimes is available but they charge way too much. The Times is printed within 200 miles of here and they charge $5.00 for the Sunday edition. Give me a break!

I imagine that as the web develops and my web habits develop it will become easier to read stuff online. However, my fear is that the web is soon going to be overrun by the corporations and that I'll have to pay a subscription fee to read things on any of the major news outlets. We've gotta bring the man down! I keep toying with the idea of purchasing my next pair of sneakers from adbusters. They got a sneaker that they are promoting in hopes of bringing down Nike. Good luck. Anyhow, it seems like I could support a good cause and be way out in front on the cool curve. Check it out: blackspotsneaker.org.
