Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries

5:45 p.m. Izzit just me, or does it seem hokey to you, too, that New York real estate exec Barbara Corcoran will praise Coeur d'Alene on Barbara Walters' "The View" talkfest Thursday -- and she's never been here?

5:28 p.m. Huckleberries hears ... that City Councilman/sheriff's spokesman Ben Wolfinger won't seek re-election to the council. And that Woody McEvers may hang 'em up, too. Stay tuned.

2:40 p.m. Bill McCrory/Whitecaps passes along a New York Times links which tries to answer the new age question: Are bloggers reporters, too? here.

2:15 p.m. From Marianne Love/Slight Detour: "Maybe you can pass on the information about the EBay auction for Viggo-autographed copy of the Sandpoint Magazine article. It's being offered as a fundraiser for the Panida Theater, as you'll read here. Done.

12:52 p.m. Very good blog numbers for the first week of March: 10,763 pageviews overall, weekday average of 1,881, and high of 2,557 on Friday. Thanks for checking in and please tell a friend or relative about Huckleberries Online.

12:51 p.m. Looks like we had a dandy discussion about prime-time profanity over the weekend -- 24 coments -- here.

11:26 a.m. Sam Taylor/Vandal Sense, an Argonaut editor and former St. Maries Gazette-Record summer intern, is trying his hand at blogging. The link below will take you to a news story he wrote for the Argonaut about an accident that claimed a coed's life. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he'll provide a slice of campus life was his blog here.

11:23 a.m. Mike Kennedy has a legitimate complaint that Any Mouse is starting to throw too many verbal elbows for this blog. Let's cool the name-calling. "Conservatives" and "Liberals" are OK. But "socialists," "idiots" and "nutballs" aren't (not that Any Mouse used all of them). I'm beginning to wonder if flame-throwing is the blog equivalent of profanity?
