what it's about

Just the facts ma’am
I get tired of all those news stories that are filled with anecdotes and personal histories and color – and yeah, I don’t much like color commentaries when I’m listening to ballgames either. So I tend to go through the stories and pull out the data that I find useful. That’s what I intend to do here – to cannibalize (with full attribution) news articles and other stuff that I read and learn from and pass along the facts digest. For anyone who wants the full context I’ll provide the reference.

Out of context
On the other hand there are times when news headlines provide sound bytes that distort the original statement. In those cases I like to search for the original and do a fuller search for the meaning intended.

Way out there
Then there's the stuff that makes me mad, and I intend to put it out there.
