mood: cautiously optomistic

I need to find one of those mood-o-meters for the blog. I wonder if you can get one for individual bloggers. Anyway, my present state of mind is due to this website: http://www.truthout.org/index.htm where you can read, for free, the NYT op-ed's that that they now want you to pay for. Isn't it funny how they started that right before their own editors started criticism of the Times? Just a coincidence I'm sure. Ah well.
