Picture yourself in a boat on a river:
- High school teachers are revolting. And the Tribune editorial board responds, "That's right, they stink on ice." (my continued apologies to Mel Brooks)
- Dying to read every-8-minutes updates on the Tribune's Couey trial blog? Didn't think so.
- More money for newsrooms, beancounters, not less!!
- Anything that has the words "Dane Cook is evil" in it is going to get my attention.
- Sure, I'm swayed by the headline, but I have to give Sean props when he is due them.
- Hillsborough County wants to build a $40 million sport park. It hires a consultant to study it. The consultant says the park will actually turn a profit. The county then strokes a check to the consultant for his opinion. Works for me.
- "Where do you find your stories?" "Just good investigative reporting." (apologies to Lawrence Kasdan & Barbara Benedek)
