This Blog Is Full Of Crap

I haven't felt up to writing a Full Of Crap Report for Shire Network News for a while.

I did a commentary at Britney Mason's Popcast over the deification of slut-princess Diana's bizarre canonization by the British Public and American tabloid-addicts, but really - those nerve endings have been burned dead to the point where there's not much point to trying to pop open a Word window and grind another effort out.

Anyway, some kind of rift cracked wide open through the podcast as a result of a conference in Brussels with some unsavory types on the far-right.

After all this time, Little Green Footballs finally linked the podcast, and a meltdown occurred on the server end.

Charles and the Pajamas folks have been a circlejerk of self-promotion, elephants dancing while their smaller members get nothing much out of the whole experience but lag on their sites rife with ads promoting the bigger A-listers, a pittance of cash trickling down from the party high on Olympus.

Every now and then, someone outside of the mutual-admiration society gets linked, coming in the form of a server-crushing avalanche instead of a steady and gradual promotion of those with compelling, interesting views.

As Shire Network News has been all this time.

Whatever. I burned out from it all long ago.

I'll stick to my stories, the Twitter, the SL silliness, and the occasional snarls here on IFOC.

Things look really pretty in the rear-view mirror, don't they?
