Are you still voraciously reading the news? You haven’t been ranting or linking to news too much lately.

I still keep up with the news every day. I blame the lack of news ranting on a broken outrage meter. I read stories I want to rant about, but by the time I get back to them to do so, I find myself apathetic about it all. It just all seems to smush together to be the same damn stuff every day, and I can’t seem to get worked up about any of it. This usually starts happening right before I decide I need to take a few weeks off from seeing or hearing any news reports at all. I’d imagine I’ll take a break from it entirely very soon, and then I’ll be back to ranting and raving about current events again … after I get my outrage meter fixed.
