Welcome to 1984

In the past week, Josh has pulled down one post and Katie has pulled down two. Suddenly, my reference to Josh's post that featured the Pavement video means nothing because no one can go to Josh's blog to watch the video. Likewise, today I checked Katie's blog and noticed that a post wsa missing. I said to my wife, "A post is missing" and she said, "Oh yeah? What was it?" Luckily I was able to remember. Otherwise, I might have thought I was crazy or I dreamed it which would cast into doubt my belief that I was NOT in fact imprisoned at a fascist women's military academy last night ( I escaped only by calling a cab). Websites do this all the time; they replace old sites with new ones and you never know that the information was changed. Newspapers try to do this by never acknowledging that they misreported information or came to a faulty conclusion. Instead, they report new information as if that's the truth, ignoring an alternate truth that they preached six months previously. This means there are no more objective facts. I can no longer prove to you that Katie has had a dilemma about caring or that Josh had videos. I'm trying to think of how to solve this problem of disappearing facts (we all know Orwell's solution to everything and I don't think it's appropriate here). I guess all I can do is promise to never delete or edit a post while commenting on other people's posts here in this history-lovin' blog.
