Over the weekend, I was toying with the idea of getting up early every morning and posting a new feature on the blog. The idea would be to give y’all a summary of the day’s news — real news, hard news, the kind that meets the standards of a hardcore traditionalist like me. It would be a briefing, and would contain links to source material. The idea would be to revive, and amend, the thing I did for a few days last summer. All in the interests of a newsier, more focused blog.

Sounds good in theory, but…

This morning, I glance at The State and the WSJ as usual. And throughout the day, I’ve watched Twitter off and on for anything breaking. And you know what? All day, I only saw one real, hard, breaking news story: That was the continuing, unfolding story of the Chile earthquake aftermath.

I mean, seriously: Look at The State. Then look at The New York Times. Then look at The Wall Street Journal. Anything else big that fits the criteria? Nope.

One story hardly seemed worth doing the thing. Y’all knew about the Chile quake.

Maybe tomorrow.
