blog whore

Je m'accuse! I have become a blog whore. You visit someone and try a few links, before you know it you've crossed to the dark side. I was so incensed by the Rotweillers that I had to comment. They were not nice to me. I had to make them like me (it's a pathology) so I went back for more. They became nicer, and I no longer think they want to track me down and kill me. I've only visited a few times, I can handle it, I can give up any time I want. Mr McMuffin is an enabler, he's put them on the Safari favourites toolbar under 'nutters'. It's not my fault!

Anyway I think it is important to 'know your enemy'. My Dad buys 'The Telegraph' for the same reason. He thinks that there isn't much point in constantly affirming your own view of the world, you are more challenged by different ones. He couldn't stomach 'The Mail' though, which I think my Mum got to wind him up. She would read out bits of it and he would turn purple with rage. I think that's why they're still happily married, the conflict is political, their happiness entirely personal. Aah, they're lovely people.

Comments

I had to laugh at your comments about the UK papers. I'm an American married to a Brit, and my inlaws get all their news from The Daily Mail, which is OK when there is a legitimate scandal afoot -- but when I visit there and that's the only paper I read, it only takes a few days for me to get depressed... it's always so negative.

Now when we visit, I make a point of running out each day for my own copy of The Guardian or The Independent.

Donna, I commend you on your choice of papers, you put us to shame. I notice that you are married to a Welshman, so assume you get to visit the magnificent Cymru, which incidentally is where my parents are from.
