Newspapers

I think I have a new favorite section of the newspaper.  It used to be as a kid, I would go straight to the Lifebeat and read some cartoons, and try to tackle that Sunday Wordsearch.  Then as a teenager I would drift mainly into the sports section.  Well the sports section sucks now.  It has been completely ruined by ESPN, the electronic media, and talk radio.  I still flip there for columns, but it is useless for sports news; that is unless the power is out. 
So I've been exploring other sections of the paper recently.  The main section is alright, a few good things here and there on average.  The local section is pretty much the same, pointing out the ill placed priorities of Rhode Islanders and our politicians.  But what is really interesting is the commentary sections.  People blasting columnists and fellow commentators on their various beliefs and literary foibles.  I have a few of them set aside from the last two days that I feel compelled to touch on.  For example, yesterday some lady wrote in to write that it was time for Obama to step aside and concede to Hillary, so the democrats and republicans can face off head to head.  That was the basis of her argument.  There was no intelligent reasoning behind it, just that she felt he should just give it up now, with the lead mind you.  That's Rhode Islanders in a nutshell.  Arrogant, and uninformed.
