Background noise update.

Putz, on blogging:

I tend to skip both the ‘new suicide bombing in Baghdad’ perennial story, and the ‘top aide of Zarqawi captured’ perennial story. Because in a way, those aren’t really news: they don’t really tell you anything about what’s happening. Unless there’s some reason to pay extra attention, I consider those types of stories part of the background noise.

Putz, today:

SUICIDE BOMBER KILLS 3 at the Iraqi Parliament building.

It's apparently only news if it's from Pajamas Media.
