No news today - Guest Post - Paul Agostino

Weekend Edition: It is often difficult, while traveling, to find something beyond a local newspaper, so you have to settle for USA Today, with its bubble-brained headlines and idiotic bar graphs, if you want something with a bit more scope. My friend picked up a USA Today on a Saturday somewhere on the border of South Carolina and Georgia, glanced at it, and said, "Hey--this is yesterday's paper." I told him that USA today puts out a "weekend edition" on Friday that covers Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He looked over the front page of the paper, then said, "What's the matter--nothing happens in Sandra Bullock's life on the weekends?"

  1. Black text on a black background. Is this some sort of a test?

  2. No test - mistakes. Does this blogpost stuff not let you copy and paste? Does one have to type in all the text into the box oneself?

  5. Thanks, Megan, Sasha. I'm finally able to see the post myself and this only after copying and pasting Sasha's comment here. This might have to be the way it works from here on in.
