I work with Billl, so we're sequestered in our own little corner of the newsroom, which is pretty much a different world, but I know that the majority of the other reporters are as ridiculously overworked in this understaffed newsroom as we are and that most of them bust their asses to do the best reporting they can. It just bugs me when the entire paper gets lumped together for criticism and ridicule for the actions (or non-action) of a select few that most of us have no contact with and certainly no influence over.

OK, I probably wouldn't have anyway. Off topic; is it just me or is there somewhat cryptic writing in the confetti of today's Google graphic? It looks like SON SWIACK ACK.

I have to say, he came across to me as a major asshole. I was at some local bar a while back, and the Black Diamond was there just hanging out with some mutual friends.

The white guy that does James Brown is funny in a the-groom-literally-shit-his-pants-at-the-alter kind of way because he looks like Surber.

Actually, he told me about a white guy who impersonates James Brown and he's local: a white Brown. Sounds festive.

In an A to Z list it's "Q" for questions. So, let's keep those questions coming, folks. Call me old fashioned, but I do love solid newspaper expose journalism. Cause the Mylans and Manchins of this world win the sound b. contest. It's that well-researched article and persistence in the press...let's see who wins this...sad to say, tho, WVU has been dealt quite a blow.
