My local daily newspaper had some excellent articles today
about: Rep. Todd Akin, the value of a college education in this recession, the
demographic makeup of the incoming college freshman class, Pussy Riot-like
punishments around the world, Phyllis Diller's obit, charitable giving in
religious states, evidence of Amelia Earhart's plane and more.
Plus, I learned about Rosie O'Donnell's heart attack, Nikki
Minaj on American Idol and the death of Scott McKenzie.
In addition to local briefs, there were briefs about student
immigration checks in Alabama, Rep. Yoder's skinny dip, another Syrian attack,
cosmonauts' space walk, Argentina seeking voting rights for 16-year-olds and
India blocking websites.
And that doesn't even count sports, life and business — all
delivered right to my house.
And I could read all of that news and vital information in
about the same amount of time that it takes to watch half an episode of
Dancing with the Stars.
And I could read all of that news and vital information
without any shrill commentary about those stories from either the left or the
right.
Thank you to my local daily newspaper for making me a
well-informed citizen every day.
