22 December 2008Brought to my attention by the Fee:
Let’s take a closer look at that CNN headline:
Really, CNN? REALLY??
(In case you are squinting at my iGoogle page to see what news feeds I can’t live without– because my life is that interesting–those boxes are: Pitchfork News {since they know more about my brother than I do}, Amazon book search {duh}, The Forbes.com feed for Target {sales nerd!}, NPR: Books, NPR: News, Business Week, CNN, my Google Reader, Mets News, The WSJ, and my Twitter page. Just out of sight are: Jon Stewart quote-a-day, The Onion, the New York Post, E! Online, TV Guide, and the weather. iGoogle is magical! Everyone should get one!).
