Welcome to PokornyPundit!

Greetings to all citizens of the Blogosphere!

Isn't the Internet great? I couldn't believe how quick it was to set this baby up. I was almost positive that I would get caught up in a plethora of online registration windows. Guess that shows how much I know about this whole blogging deal.

Anyways, I'm a high school student who also happens to be editor-in-chief of my school paper, so it's a fair bet that I have a passion for journalism. I seem to have a lot to say about the news I read, so why not be productive (is that the right word?) and start a blog? Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm actually getting credit (hopefully) for doing this as part of an individualized research project. But that aside, this should prove to be a very interesting and educational experience.

You know, it kinda feels like the day before starting a new job. Hell, enough of those top bloggers spend in excess of 5 hours a day on their precious little journals; they might as well be part-time jobs. What does that say about America these days (or the rest of the world for that matter)? The fact that there are people, a good number of them mind you, who are willing to spend that much time in front of a computer and not get paid a nickel for it. Oh well, I guess I'm being hypocritical here because, in a way, I've just joined their ranks...
