What a backlog

Ugh. Man, do we pump out a lot of information in this country. I'm trying to catch up on the news after being completely away from it for 4 days, and it is a long, hard, slog to do so. My RSS feed reader had over 3,000 new items on it when I checked it last night, and each individual feed caps out at 200 items. I went through some of it, spent some time with the lovely Mrs. Jib, and came back to it tonight to find that a lot of my progress had been wiped out by new material. I think I'm going to end up pretending that anything that happened before Friday never occured, including the SOTU.
