Internet Does Blur Mass Media Divide

It's an interesting world. In fewer than five minutes, I can:

• Read a story on CNN.com about "Teacher in trouble over topless shots, but is it art?"
• Google the ousted teacher's name, Tamara Hoover
• Read Hoover's Myspace page and get her side of the story
• Read some random blogger's posting that Hoover is a lesbian
• Look at Hoover's alleged girlfriend's Flickr site
• Realize that Celesta Danger is a talented photographer
• Realize that Hoover's sexual identity probably has too much to do with the dismissal
• Briefly ponder my own keep-out-politics policy about this Weblog
• Wonder why so many people care so much about other people's sex lives
• Become sad that a teacher loved by her students is treated like this
• Realize that I will be a Texas voter in 10 days, thus gaining some minute influence
