Arthur Silber begins a series on the "Kill List"
Part I here.
I'm impatient to read his future installments, which I suppose is ironic, given his wise critique of the hurry-up-then-forget-it news-cycle mentality that's as pervasive in "new media" as in old.

"Now they have their answer." Holy shit. This is heavy.
So what I've come to realize is... Fuck the "news." Everything passes, and nothing is remembered.
I'm more concerned with history. This is history we're watching, not the news. But people don't think of it that way. I think most of us think of history in the abstract-- far-away events acted out by mythical characters. Therefore we continue to sleep right through it.
