Word of Blog

I guess that in advising people not to get attached to things in their hometown, I wasn't thinking big enough. Revision: don't get attached to anything anywhere, ever. People, tv shows, independent pharmacies or any independent businesses, come to think of it, and especially not quality online news sources. But perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself here in swearing off worldly things; we can still save Salon.

For a long time I read Salon without subscribing, so if you've been doing that, please consider subscribing. I did a couple months ago, and it's totally worth it. They get interesting interviews, write features that you might not see in mainstream news sources, and always have up-to-date stories off the AP wire on their homepage. NPR has cited Salon's influence in cases such as the Trent Lott thing -- Salon pays attention to stories that would often otherwise be swept under the proverbial rug.

And, if you're a conservative who hates Salon.com, you should subscribe anyway to support the political diversity that democracy needs. :) What the hell, it's worth a shot.
