    A very, very bad thing

    I guess, seeing as this is not very nice, the other news organizations have decided not to report on it for now. I have not found it on the news anywhere else including TV cable news (no surpise there though I do now know all about some guy in Utah with lots of wives and kids and lost kids - thanks for filling me in on that, Andy of the Andy Cooper Hour on CNN). Kudos to Salon for all my real news. As young Colbert might say, the rest of the news folks were probably all home writing the great novel about the intrepid news reporter with balls.
