What constitutes a good day

this one will probably be short...

[famous last words]

thus far, today is what constitutes a good day. awoke after a restful night's sleep. made breakfast in my new kitchen

[alone]

made the excellent cup of coffee

[much harder to do in a French Press (the last one at Morrison's!)]

and read the Huffington Post. where i stumbled onto this article about former press secretary David McClellan.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jay-rosen/a-world-made-more-opaque_b_73896.html

it was an excellent article, not only for talking about what relationship the press secretary has to its press corps, but also it helped explain what vision of power this white house has, and just how dangerous and anti-democratic it actually is. very exciting.

[the huffington post is a favourite of mine at the moment, everything from film to just off the bus political reporting is going on. and a huge variety of writers, intelligent ones too!]

the man who wrote the article is named Jay Rosen and he has a blog himself, PressThink

http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/

its subject line is the ghost of democracy in the media machine. methinks it shall be interesting...

lets find out shall we????
