Reload a newspaper

There are more people dead in Madrid every time you reload a newspaper
and instead of being struck by the terrible reality behind that sentence — which CNN already managed to sanitize into ever repeating snatches of "Breaking News" interspersed with hotel recommendations in every other place around the world but Madrid — I'm struck by the last three words, "reload a newspaper," and the realization of how weird this would have sounded 10 years ago and the realization that this is how things will be when printed newspapers have gone the way of the dodo in another 10 years time. And I'm reminded of the (Chinese?) curse, "May you live in interesting times!"

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
