Snoozeville Chronicle, November 17, 2007

The sun's going down earlier and earlier....here's the peaceful view from the bridge in late afternoon.

Snoozeville's most colorful local newspaper, the Georgetowner, has a great editorial in this issue (Nov. 15- Nov. 27): "Good God, Mr. President!" Not everybody in this neck of the woods is enamored of "43." Editor Gary Tischler really puts it to the current resident of the W.H.

Tischler is a true patriot and an enterprising journalist. Do you think the WashPost is ever gonna publish news like which popular bottled water is really filtered tap water? He names names!

Newsweek, the WashPost's weekly "news" magazine, has hired none other than Turdblossom himself to write a column. A Huffington Post item puts this forth as the "balance" needed for their other new hire, Markos Moulitsas, creator of Daily Kos.

Last but not least, on Friday afternoon, Chronicle's favorite university threw a good old fashioned party with beer, wine, and snacks to celebrate the news that the Mid States Association had removed it from academic suspension. I waited unsuccessfully to thank the president for bringing not only respectability but also alcohol back to the campus. Imagine! Administrators, faculty, and staff, who not so long ago were avoiding each other, all talking and eating and laughing together. Been a long time since we had any fun over there.
