I don't know who any of these people are.....Glenn Greenwald, Tim Russert (he's dead, I hear),
Katie Couric, (I don't even know which 'names to name as *big stars* lol) etc., etc.......

Am I missing a "big slice of life" b/c I don't have teevee/don't know/care to know who they are? Do they offer opinions? Should I *share* those opinions with them, just b/c they are 'well-known' ~ even though I don't *know* them.....

1. Greenwald is a columnist at Salon. He is not on TV
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/

He is one of the most honest, passionate writers around. He stands his ground when his view is not popular

2. It's difficult to know who to trust/listen to anymore.

I'm off to bed. nite. And w/o teevee, I don't know/listen to 'very many'.....and after 2/17/09....I will be totally "cut-off" from teevee.

(on edit: Hallelujah!!!!)

3. Is this one of those ironic hipster kind of deals where you know about
somebody/thing, but you don't know about them?

4. No.....I'm just babbling......
but I'm an "outsider". I really don't *know* anything at all. But I do know that I'm an (thankfully) an outsider.
