Tiger Woods

Should journalists listen to Tiger's plea to leave this a private matter? What are your thoughts?

Journalist interview

The following is my interview with Amanda from the Lebanon Reporter. She writes reviews of Restaurants in the Indianapolis area.

MK: Do they give you any special treatment? would you consider it ethical to accept any special treatment from the restaurants?

AM: I do not give any restaurant special treatment, that would destroy the real reason for a critique. I also think it defies the purpose of writing a critique if the restaurant gives ME special treatment. The restaurant would probably pay more attention to detail with my meal and my readers want to know how the food will taste when they go there, and since they're not all journalists they would not get special treatment like I did.

MK:You are a freelance journalist, have you ever considered writing about anything besides food critiques? AM: No because journalism is all about having a passion about other peoples' passions. Everyone loves food, that's just how it is. Therefore, my passion is their passion.

MK: Do you believe that print journalism will phase out as a result of the internet and more citizen journalism (ie blogs and twitter?)

AM: There is no doubt in my mind, print journalism sales are declining at a rapid rate because people are turning to technology as their predominant source for all information.

What a Saint

A man robbed a bank in Indianapolis this week. The woman started to cry as he was robbing so he actually knelt and said a prayer with her in the middle of his heist! Then he gave her a hug, locked her in a bathroom, and robbed her. Later he turned himself in. A man among boys!

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

All I have to say is I wish Kanye West was there.

Why is this news??

Ok, I realize it's originally from People magazine, but come on, it should not be one of CNN's breaking news stories because it's not news.

John stole Kate's money.

Big deal, Kate stole John's self-esteem.

And TLC stole John and Kate's marriage.

Let's move on.

Us Against the Emu: A Story of Incredible Logic

BYU's Daily Herald published this story today about an emu that got loose on the highway. The only way to stop the emu was to use a stun gun and then, as natural logical would have it (when capturing a BIRD), handcuff it.

Oh of course! Handcuffs! Silly me, I would have put a lease around its neck and in hopes to lead it away or perhaps even a net. Tis not so. Everyone knows to capture a hand-less creature you use handcuffs. Where did they handcuff it? Around the legs? See here, those things are dang big animals.

I mean, I'm not sure if you've seen them at the zoo or anything but they've usually got a big 'ol field all to themselves. It's not like it's a canary or anything. And then what are you going to do when the bird is laying there lifeless from being stunned, handcuffed at the legs, and with no arms? Haul the thing away and hope to heck it doesn't start flapping its wings at the same time?....

Surely not.

...Let's not do anything that may anger him next time, boys.

Well, if they weren't going to use it!

A couple in Kansas climbed into a dumpster to get frisky last weekend (side note: Yuck) and were robbed of their clothes, jewelry, and wallet. The thief was found and the items returned.

Now, if you ask me, they clearly didn't care about having their clothes anyway so why not just share the wealth? Maybe the thief noticed the rambunctious 40-somethings getting down to business (IN A FREAKY DUMPSTER) and decided to make sure they didn't get to the point where they may procreate and staged a robbery to scare them and save the world of any future dumpster diving lovers. If that's really the case, he deserves an award.
