Go East, Middle-Aged Blogger!

logging on the West Coast has its advantages. In February I can blog while it’s beautiful and warm outside, for example. I can read news at 11 p.m. while others, particularly those nasty East Coast bloggers, are sound asleep.

Trouble is, there’s rarely anything going on at 11 p.m. Pacific Standard Time that would interest anyone except for folks in Tokyo, Beijing and Mumbai, where it’s happenin’ time.

So I sit here at 6:24 p.m., waiting for the next six minutes to go by and the Palin interview to start – the interview the East Coast bloggers wrote about hours ago. The interview that will be old news when I write about it – heck, if I write about it. Being on the West Coast has made me more of a feature blogger than a news blogger, and when I was a reporter, I wasn’t at all fond of feature assignments.

Maybe London or the South of France … get a jump on those East Coast guys …

Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
