ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

That smiling Cheney photo with the sunglasses

I wonder what the msnbc.com record is for shortest story.

Y'know, I'd seen the links to the photo of smiling Dick Cheney and didn't get what they were about. I thought I was missing the text. Boing Boing has the full story arc along with a high resolution shot that shows the reflection more clearly. Given the clarity of the hi-res shot I don't see how some news outlets are still adding the "you decide" tag to the story. Sorry, it's not like seeing the Madonna on a piece of toast. There's a reality to this one that doesn't leave the decision up to you.

D'uh!  I'm no fan of Dick Cheney, but that's the reflection of a hand wrapped around the light cork grip of a fly fishing rod.
