In all honesty, I'm kind of digging all the over cautiousness everyone is making a big deal over:  not only to the realists of the world get to watch people's panties get wedged up their asses after getting traumatized by sources like Faux News, I also get to reap the benefits of the misconception that people [...]]]></description>

"Third Eye Blind Headlines Jakarta After Bombing"
What, first Jakarta gets bombed, then we send in Third Eye Blind? BRUTAL. 
August 7, 2009 -- Despite security concerns in Jakarta, Third Eye Blind will
headline Java Rockin Land, the largest music festival in Indonesia.
Regardless of warnings to the contrary, the band will perform August 9th in
support of Ursa Major (Aug 18), its first album in six years.
"It seems counter to everything we stand for if we didn't do this, and it
would bother me to no end if we backed [...]]]></description>

Pick up your favorite magazine and compare it to an issue from 2006. Notice any difference? Across the board, quality of paper and page count are down in 2009. But it's increasingly unlikely that you would do such a thing, as people don't buy magazines anymore. The print media world is staring down the barrel of inevitability's loaded gun. At the end of the newspaper/magazine epoch we find the most popular titles grasping at straws to preserve their dwindling margin. Case in point: Maxim's [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, the days when Cameron Crowe could spend months reporting a story from Led Zeppelin's tour bus are long gone. Tabloids have helped make stars wary, if not scornful, of journalists of all stripes, print doesn't fill artists' coffers (many high-powered publicists have repeated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up (occasionally) reading my local daily paper beyond the comics section, it struck me how much of the news was regurgitated. It seems even back then, the Associated Press wrote at least one third of the Sacramento Bee. 
I haven't really picked up the Bee since I moved from Sacramento a decade or so ago (or pretty much any other newspaper besides the Synthesis or the CN&#038;R, for that matter) but I imagine the margin of original content to canned hasn't improved. 

But then I look at our blog [...]]]></description>

This is an actual letter received by the editor of the Synthesis Weekly. It arrived this morning from one of the magazine's most loyal readers, Virgilio Gonzalez.
Dear Jake,
How was your Fourth of July Weekend? Mine did not go very well. When I moved to this country, I knew you Americans could be confusing, but I'd seen enough of your country on TV to think I had a good grip on how things worked here, but I guess I was wrong. Now that I live here I just want to be [...]]]></description>

What the hell is this shit?!  iMeem just recommended me to check out Smash Mouth &#38; Hoobastank?  I don't know what's wierder, the fact that I listen to music that's somehow labeled into the same categories as these bands or the fact that Smash Mouth is still a band.  Honestly, iMeem can go screw themselves.

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop touching my eyes, mouth, and nose, not to mention my balls and my asscrack. I also can't help but see a delicious slice of pizza and eat it without first washing my hands. I also keep drinking booze, and sleeping on the couch with the TV and otherwise failing to maintain a "healthy lifestyle."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the big pushbacks currently being undertaken in the media in regards to the swine flu pandemic is the idea that those seeking to link it to factory farming methods and big agri-business are merely opportunists, that factory farms are in no way responsible for this outbreak. However, the CDC has confirmed that the current H1N1 flu virus wreaking global havoc owes it ancestry to a strain of swine flu that originated in a North Carolina factory farm in 1988]]></description>
