Breaking News from Genoa City

After a mistrial was declared in the Daniel Wade Moore trial we broke into programming to do our jobs. However, this meant we were covering over the comings and goings of the lives of those in Genoa City. For those who don't know, that's the fictional city where "The Young and the Restless" takes place. So we got a few emails saying we shouldn't have done it.
One person called it "bull excrement." From what I've seen of soap operas, I'm not sure what the difference is.

I guess the message here is, don't interrupt fantasy to give us reality. In the future maybe we should just report breaking news as taking place in Genoa City.

Yes, We Have No Gas Today

I pulled my sexy beast of a news vehicle, a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, into the Warrenton Texaco to fuel up. And what greets me, but the gas pump handle wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. I got to wondering, when did that become the universal sign that either the pump's not working or we're out of gas? Someone says, "The pump's not working." And someone else says, "Well, go wrap it in a grocery bag."

I wonder why they don't come up with a system to let you know they are out of Twix?

A Comment on Comments

I welcome comments to the postings I make here on the blog. (That doesn't mean they can be filled with curse words, mean spirited things, etc.) However, they should be reasonably short. If your comment goes more than a paragraph, it's no longer a comment. It's a blog posting. I suggest getting a blog of your own.

Uhhhhh, what?????

From Reuters news service:

FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said he had asked the chairman of the FCC to open an inquiry into the February 24 incident at WHNT, a CBS affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama, in which civil rights footage from the 1960s was blacked out.

Did I miss something? We are now accused of blocking civil rights footage?

Where Have All The Emails Gone?

As quickly as they came, they are gone. They were here but for a season. The emails comparing us to Fascists and Communists have finally stopped. Now, we are back to just the spams about male enhancement. I swear last week during the barrage of 60 Minutes emails, who ever sends out that spam took a vacation.

But anyway, I'm a little misty. So in the spirit of ending last week's post on a song, I'll do the same here. Goodbye never ending email assault. Goodbye.

The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared
'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known
that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known
how the king would fall
Hey who's to say
you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of had to miss the dance
