For all those who care about blogging, the above link is to a glossary of blogging terms. I have one term I would add that I think I may have coined:

Blog Fodder
noun. Information used as the basis for the posts to blogs. Generally includes links to news articles, websites or other blogs. Also can include the topics of link less blog posts, and responses to emails.

Huggins Back After Heart Attack
My sources tell me that Huggins should not be couching. His heart attack was serious one and most cardiologists would advise that he should not be back to work yet, and maybe never. I think the press is reporting this story wrong. I don't think he is really back to work yet. This AP story has been picked up in half of the newspapers across the country. This was only a PR event anyway. The local press will not report anything other than a positive story about his recovery. What they should be looking at is will going back to work full time cause another heart attack, one he would not survive. I predict that if Huggins is “coaching” again, he will serve as more of a figure head role until his heath impoves.

A very interesting take by Chris Anderson on Blogging. I think blogging is a long needed component to the large media landscape. Blogging provides the big media outlets a mirror to see what they are doing right and more often than not doing wrong. Blogging also provides news junkies like me yet another outlet. When the big media outlets are not reporting the story, a blogger is usually out there covering it. I wish I had my blog during last year's riots. I believe I could have provided a source of information that was greatly missing in the mainstream media. I hope I don't need to fulfill that role in the future locally, but the next big news event here will most likely get the same level of coverage as last year's riot.

Ohio poll: 'Design' theory is religious
I am glad to see the public and science professionals can see through the propaganda of the conservative media (Enquirer). The important issue is for the state school board to read the poll results and understand that any appeasement to the religious groups pushing ID will not be consistent with the majority of people in the state.

Pet Mania
The animal stories have hit the local news media like a sickness:
WCPO's "Tri-state Pet Store's Policies Questioned"
WLWT's "Goose Killer's Cruelty Charges Will Be Dropped"
Enquirer's "Bronson: Goose flap is dismissed"

I am not a rabid reader of the WhistleBlower but today's edition seems just a tad bit to the right. It seems like Bush's visit drew out an extra thick froth on the local GOPhers mouths.

Jay Love of 1230 the Buzz seems to consider Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen the biggest criminal in the City of Cincinnati. Demagoguery has reached new heights.
