The start to an end

My work leaves me a lot of time to surf the Internet and reflect on many articles that would have escaped my attention before. A lot of them are not very note worthy but then a few have the ability to make me stop in my thoughts. Now my question is do I start this blog by posting a few news articles and my thoughts on them - or start with something more amusing that might keep the attention span of today's youth *though by now I have already lost that attention* Let's keep things fair and I'll split it down the middle. One article of news that has caught my attention and one article of nothing but pure indulgent nonsense. Deal?
