For the Files

There has been plenty of newsworthy fodder for the papers to pick up on as of late, be it the "unusual" weather economic trends or the Sarah Palin v. David Letterman scuffle political situation in Iran. The Denver Post must have been on some sort of editorial vacation a couple weeks back because they made one of the subjects that would have been in the strikethrough category front page news. Extra, extra, read all about it! Colorado has cougars!

I have long had a certain distaste for most forms of local news media be it the now defunct American Furniture Warehouse/Rocky Mountain News or any of the TV outlets that often turn the banal into the sensational come 10:00 PM news time. On a positive note, the Westword has a worthwhile feature pretty often and the restaurant pages are always amusing to read. The neighborhood papers are good for happenings in the hood and a great source for finding local services. In other local news, the blog-o-counter passed the 20,000 mark yesterday, thank for reading my almost daily drivel . . .
