Musings, reflections and self-arrogance from the now-former editor of a small weekly newspaper, And, occasionally, even something interesting!

Fourteen years in the journalism biz, but don't let that stereotype about commie pinko bleeding heart liberal journalists fool you - I manage to disappoint conservatives and liberals alike. Whatever happened to common sense and rational thought? At least I'm not a neo-fascist, neo-Nazi or other political extremist. In fact, just about my entire political, social and metaphysical outlook can be explained in the movie "Blazing Saddles." My journalistic idols? Carl Kolchak (thus the profile pic) and Irwin M. Fletcher. As for my professional choice, it beats retail, restaurant management and scrambling around to fund graduate school. I'm also pretty smug after 30 years - I knew back in 1976 that everyone else would come around and agree with me that the Electric Light Orchestra was cool. Just listen to those Monster.com, Volkswagen and J.C. Penneys commercials.

AAGH! We use the national anthem to sign off our AM station every evening at sundown. I think thats a good idea, BUT this started right after 9/11, and the boss had us mix a "patriotic" mashup with Pres Bush giving his anti=terrorism speech, including "Lets roll". That is now five years old, and its driving me nutso. I keep meaning to replace it with the regular anthem, but I would be courting trouble.
The boss sounds like he has precious little grip on reality
Wow...I do remember when the television stations would sign off with the national anthem playing and a flag waving in the breeze.
That seems like such a life time ago.
