A wandering anchor named Quest
Heard the words, “You’re under arrest!”
“I’ve Meth in a Zip-Lock,”
“And a toy in my left sock.”
They’ll help him in rehab, I guess.

Memo to George W. Bush: Though your approval rating hit a new low this week, keep your chin up!
Sure, a pessimist looking at Bush’s approval rating of 28% might think that America believes Bush is doing a God-awful job as President of the United States. 
On the other hand, an optimist would have to think that […]

While the war in Iraq raged on yesterday, the impact of the war was being felt at two different Washington D.C. venues.
At the White House, President Bush awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award, to Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor.
The medal was given posthumously. Monsoor’s life ended on September 29 in the city of […]

In case you hadn’t heard, The Pulitzer Prizes were announced today.
It’s doubtful that these prize winners have been a hot subject of discussion around the water-cooler (unless, of course, that water-cooler happens to reside in a newsroom). Nah, most of today’s office discussions surrounded either the NCAA championship game or on who advanced on Dancing […]

Obviously, there have […]

Face it.

Between the war, the economy, the environment and a thousand other problems plaguing the world, it’s hard at times to find anything to smile about.
That’s why I love the NCAA Basketball tournament and that’s why I especially love the story of Davidson College and guard […]

“April is the cruelest month”- T.S. Elliott
“Bullsh*t…. March is!“- Anonymous
Forget about March Madness. Sure, the NCAA Tournament has everyone talking at the proverbial water coolers, but the real news of the month has been the sheer volume of news about lying, cheating and cavorting politicians. The NCAA’s may have a Final Four, but I had […]

A few Notes on today’s news coverage:

Funnye, You Don’t Look Jewish: It seems that not all inner-city Chicago preachers are cut from the same cloth. On the heels of the controversy surrounding Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his anti-America diatribes, the New York Times did a feature on Capers Funnye, a black rabbi, who also has his congregation […]
