JBelle: What If … Huckleberries Made Wikipedia?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huckleberries Online is that journalistic phenomenon in North Idaho/Eastern Washington that single handedly puts Cowles’ Publishing products under the noses of more than one million international readers each year. Created and maintained by Dave Oliveria of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, HBO as it’s referred to locally, hosts discussion and opinion on local, regional, national and international current affairs and items of popular interest. Sadly, it’s most loathsome feature is public school commenters from the Spokane Valley; fortunately, most of the other commenters are of sufficient education and experience to compensate for the homely ignorance and acrid hostility for which the Spokane Valley is famous. The whole of the North Idaho posters along with the other commenters who have degrees from Jesuit universities remain congenial with sense of humors intact. HBO is a bullwark of new age journalism and Mr. Oliveria maintains a rock star personna of sorts in the region.

DFO: JBelle, thanks for the ha-huge chuckle. I only wished …
