More Americans are getting their news online than ever, Reuters reports:

Nearly half of the 1,979 people who responded to the survey said their primary source of news and information is the Internet, up from 40 percent just a year ago. Less than one third use television to get their news, while 11 percent turn to radio and 10 percent to newspapers.

Good news. Although, this is a Zogby online poll, so we should probably take it with a grain of salt, as such offerings are notoriously skewed toward the internet demographic.

I think I’m going to be annoyed for the rest of my life that I left Texas just in time to miss the state’s biggest Presidential primary fight ever. But this kind of stuff makes me feel better:

The night before, at Quincey’s Irish Pub, just over the Arkansas line, Rendy Oliver and James Estes, two waiters who live on the Texas side and work at a nearby upscale restaurant, Timothy’s, said they were also going to vote for Mr. Obama, though both had voted Republican in the past. Mr. Estes, 34, who served six years in the Army, with tours in the Middle East, said he had decided to cross party lines mostly because of the war in Iraq.

“This is the first time I’ve voted Democrat, ever,” he said, sounding surprised. He said he supported Mr. Obama because he believed he could actually bring about at least some of the change that is the core of his message.

“I see him as a person who is reaching out more to voters without the good old boy system that’s now in effect, screwing up the country,” Mr. Estes said. Of Mrs. Clinton, he said, “I think she still has the obligation to grease the right palm.”

Amen.
