I've said it before and I'll say it again: Blogging is a total waste of time. Anyone that does it for anything but their own edification is wasting their time.

Except for those that don't. I could name about 10 people that have inked lucrative journalism deals for themselves from their excellent commentary in their blogs. Or, those that have the most-read and informative blog around and has a better teaching job (you know who you are.)

Here's the dirty truth about bloggers: Not everyone has something to say. Duh, you need me explain this one to you?
Some bloggers indeed update their journals often, in some cases several times a day. But it's clearly a minority who are taking advantage of the blog and its potential to steer the online discourse with personal musings about news events and daily life.
Well, duh. I still contend that the majority of bloggers are of two varieties: Overwrought high school girls, or wanna-be politicos.

Sometimes both.
