Sorry for the dearth of posts since my open letter to the Indonesian president. Been very busy! But I also had the bad fortune of missing last night's South Park. You can't get any better, dead-on social commentary than this cartoon show for grown-ups. That's grown-ups, don't let kids under 16 watch! Because they probably won't get it, anyway.
But I digress. Last night's episode is titled "The Day the Internet Stood Still," and it is a sci-fi spoof of the day the Internet just isn't there. Television stations cannot broadcast any news, Dad can't watch porn, and Mom can't read endless emails. The town's hysteria grows, until -- well, I didn;t see the dang show, so I don't know!
But I can give you this clip, courtesy of Website Gawker.com, and props to the Drudge Report for the heads-up. The link is:

I don't think this is too far from the truth!

Have never watched South Park but did watch the clip.
I'm old enough (shutter), to remember when there was no internet and life did function without it.
Thanks, Lea! I appreciate your posts very much.
And thank you Scott for the acknowledgement.
While I understand it can't always be done because we're all crazy busy these days, the occasional thanks or comment to a comment means a great deal.
very nice post Lea! Good blog with a novel content.
Keep posting the content like this.
