Peanut Gallery (The Edge strikes back)

I find it laughable that the Press would scold the Spokesman for unethical conduct when it printed the names of the officers in the shooting. Why did the Press give the sister of the criminal who shot the Coeur d’Alene cop a front page story last weekend? The story basically inferred the cops went overboard and said Madonna was sorry for his actions. Please. Their coverage has been shoddy and confusing.

But this whole ethical argument is wacko. Need I remind everybody about Old Bob stealing your words without permission. Remember the Imagine edition, can we say conflict of interest. Remember the Blunder over the Prairie, whoops they were in bed on that one too. My personal favorite is giving freebie ads to political candidates. If I didn’t know better, I would say that Bill Clinton is running that place.

The Edge


DFO: Hot Dang, Edge; I couldn't have said it better myself. BTW, I think Dawn Q'Otee has a crush on you. Quoth she from a posting today: "I love The Edge. Makes me laugh out loud." :)
