I'm thinking of starting a news blog
I'd syndicate articles from different viewpts (CNN, Fox, Aljezeera -sp?-, BBC and NPR are my top ones), and write others about interesting local stuff
I wouldn't try to cover everything, I'm only 1 man but I'd write about things I find interesting.
also if ya'll have suggestions for stories I promise to do everything I can to cover them.
SUGGESTIONS ON THE BLOG TITTLE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Here's my list of story ideas:
- continued coverage of the pirates (always)
- the swine flu, and where it is in our area, whose affected
-maybe and article on recognizing the symptoms of swine flu
-updates on the goings on in Palestine
-try and figure out what those protestors in England who shout "Down with capitalism" really are upset about
-Invisible Children, The Rescue, Loby Day, events and updates
-restaurant/ movie/ book/ music reviews
-the zombie walks (where when and "an hour in the life of a zombie)
-I REALLY want to do the march for MLK's birthday
-use my broken japanese ( i might recruit eliot for this one) to interview all the Elvis fans that come into memphis on his birth and death days
-features on interesting ppl I meet, if actually do meet anyone interesting (im inspired by the story of the reporter who wrote about the crazy genius homeless man he met)
-and of course articles on brand consiousness and their cheap alternatives
This would be an exercise to get myself to write better in the news format so all ranting would be confined to this blog, no doubt each blog will have it's companion ;)
(kudos to any to get the pop culture reference in my tittle)

I had swine flu a couple of years ago (before it was popular). It was pretty much regular flu...
Speaking of regular flu, it kills over 30,000 people a year. Thats a good deal more than one baby in Mexico......but hey, the news says its a big deal--who am I to disagree with CNN?
A news blog, eh? Cool. You could keep one blog, though, and have different posts, like I do. I tried the whole two blog thing, and it didn't work for me, but kudos to you if you do. I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with!
By the way, about the title, all I'm coming with is the famous Winner-kan scene. Heh.
