When You Get to the End, You'll Get it

Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post has a very funny, but cuttingly insightful piece on what it would be like to attempt to soak in the complete news cycle -- the whole 24. Or as he titles it, Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Many gems about the blogosphere within this story, which came to me via Arts and Letters RSS feed. And now gets regurgitated here. That cycle of birth and recycling is a part of the opening, and you'll see what I mean in the title once you think about how he follows some idea genesis.

Weingarten hits a lot of the right buttons about the pundistry, but here's where I wonder if he gets his own joke -- he's calling out himself. Or, cleverly, is the joke on us. Nevertheless, a good read on the world outside sports. It won't be too hard for a mental search and replace the names of the politicos with the names of coaches to see how it applies to us in the college sports industry.
