http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU”

Tuesday Newsday has been a fun idea over the last several months.  Some of the stories struck a nerve (Roman Polanski, Jon and Kate), while others just struck a thud (Jasmine Fiore, Super Memory).  Either way, the discipline and rhythm of searching the news for topics to write about was a healthy one, often exposing [...]
