Ed McMahon, former side-kick to Tonight Show Host Johnny Carson, succumbs to complications from pneumonia. Farrah Fawcett loses her lengthy battle with cancer. Michael Jackson passes on from (apparent) heart failure. All become multiple day and mass coverage news items. 4,318…Questioning that number?

Priorities Sometimes Take A Back Seat
Stimulus Plan–Author Unknown
Stimulus Story
It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note [...]
HBO Losing Credibility
HBO must be in significant trouble if one of their presentations utilizes the “musings” of the ever self serving Ward Churchill and his thoughts on free speech. Re-runs of “I Dream Of Jeannie” on Nickelodeon offer more entertainment, credence, believability and credibility.

Dear Sarah: Give it a rest!!! You have exceeded your limit of political capital from David Letterman’s questionable jokes. Move on to your next issue like “drill baby drill”.
Gaining Political Capital
Talk show host, David Letterman, makes a few questionable jokes about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter on his Late Night television broadcast. MS Palin responds with some equally questionable accusations about Mr. Letterman. Gain political capital at the expense of one’s daughter? Don’t put it past the good governor from Alaska. Shakespeare seems to have [...]
Fascism Then–Socialism Now
Fascism under former President George Walker Bush or Socialism under current President Barack Obama. Those choices don’t seem to fit what either electorate was seeking when placing these two in the Oval Office. Surely there is a middle ground somewhere that appeals to both Republicans and Democrats.
When A Rule Isn’t A Rule
One of the basic tenets for letter writers to the Daily Camera Open Forum is…
“Letters of 300 words or fewer will receive preference”
Reviewing the Sunday, June 7 edition of the newspaper…It’s obvious that filler over tenets held precedence.
Either enforce the Daily Camera structure of “300 words or fewer” or remove it as a requirement.
Coming To A Bookstore Near You
Anyone fearing (<<<key word) that Grimm’s Fairy Tales and Aesop’s Fables have run their course should take heart with the fabrications, falsehoods and other blather that Dick (aka Darth) Cheney is continuing to spew about his and his former boss’s (George W. Bush) handling of eight years in the White House. Even the most jaundiced [...]
