Okay, so I have mono, which is usually reserved for horny teenagers who sneak out to neck with each other at Makeout Point or whatever the kids are doing these days to earn those sex bracelets. But even though I can barely keep my eyes open long enough to write this post, I know that there's some relatively noteworthy shit going on that could at least vaguely be related to politics as a general category.

My ex-roomie's new "pad"

Okay kiddos, here’s what’s up:

Item Number Uno: Apologies for lack of fantastic bloggings lately. To make a long story short, I almost got evicted because my roommate was unbalanced and consistently doping herself euphoric with tons of adderall, then coming down, numbing herself to the concepts of “rent” and “basic human kindness,” and frankly it made me in to a crabby hermit. Oopsies!

Anyway, another thing that has been going on is that grad school has been kicking my ass. So in an effort to maintain both Hayley’s Comment and my academic career, the next month is going to be a little different. Don’t worry, I’m still going to be raging against the machine; specifically, the teevee. I am conducting a small research project about cable news and the ways in which certain shows or personalities imply or construct certain realities that we often take for granted.

So in the next few weeks, you can look forward to lots of clips with commentary. Sometimes it might be a little more academic than what I usually post, but I think for those of you with a vested interest in hating Fox News, it will still be fun! Arriba!
