As about 95% of you have noticed by now, yesterday was what is known as a “slow news day.” Everyone reacts to days like this differently. Some panic. Some just toss it to the understudy, hoping that he or she has more luck than they did. Personally, I react to these “situations” the same way Superman reacts when his Kryptonite allergy flares up: Lying on the ground dramatically, trying desperately to attract as much unneeded attention as possible. In a strange way, however, Supes actually has it easier than me. Yes, he’s in unimaginable pain, but it can all be reversed with a few well-placed strikes to Lex Luthor’s abdomen. If that doesn’t work, he can always take a Zertec and hope for the best. I, on the other hand, don’t have that luxury. There is no “miracle allergy pill” that will cause Biz Stone to be incredibly cryptic, Google to do something unexpected, or Mark Cuban and/or Chad Ochocinco to do or say something incredibly stupid, yet still entertaining newsworthy. I could go and beat up Lex Luthor, but let’s face facts here: Gene Hackman isn’t getting any younger. It reaches a point when you’re just beating up an old man. So I just sit here, waiting for the news to pick up. Some days, it does. On others, it doesn’t. Sadly, today is the latter.

…And there you have it. Be sure to come back tomorrow for more of that “web 2.0 news you can use … among other things.” Until then, I bid thee a fond adieu.
