Slow News Day In Madison Or...
life imitates The Onion. An article in today's Wisconsin State Journal tells the story of an age unidentified person who has some money made from a recent dog-sitting job (or "gig" as the paper puts it). The person is disappointed to find that $40 to $50 will not buy a full size iPod on eBay.
This is what passes for news?!
News flash for the Wisconsin State Journal: Your correspondent has suffered disappointment upon realizing that Cheryl Tiegs probably will never go out on a date with him. I can give an exclusive to the paper on this story. Another story lead; I really don't want to go exercise this evening. I'd rather go get a pizza and drink some beer.
Update: I just found out the reason for the paper's story. No, it's not April Fool's Day. They named a 12-year-old as editor-in-chief for a day. He assigned reporters to cover stories on himself and his interests. So, I am now certain it is, in fact, a slow news day in Madison. Who other than the kid's grandparents are happy to waste their time or money on stories like this?
