That's what the Kindle is for, when you're off the net!

I put the Philly Inquirer Front Page into my Google Reader for the last week. None of the stories caused me to click through to read the whole thing. I was hoping for more of a local angle, since the net delivers much better national and international news. But 60% of their stories are still natl/internatl, and the rest are just not all that interesting.

And much of it is "non-news". Big front page story today? There are a lot of Philadelphia Eagles fans in Phoenix. No shit? What hard-working reporter worked that story? It had to be a tough assignment.
