It is possible to know too much. It is possible to care too much. Hunger for information can become gluttony
Gene Weingarten at the Washington Post subjects himself to 24 whole hours locked away with just 6 televisions,2 radios and a rotating series of blogs.

THE CRUDDIEST MOMENT OF THE CRAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ON EARTH happened as I found myself watching five televisions simultaneously, each containing a different political pundit opining on the same subject.

And we do it 24-7.
