Good lord. Some people wonder why newspaper circulation is dropping. Not me: Just look at the horrible photo --- in full color, yet --- that's on the front page of the Post-Gazette's South edition today.
It's not on the Web yet, thank God, so there may be time to shield your loved ones --- or in some cases, your wives and children.
Personally, I'm taking the rest of the day off; in fact, I think I might be sick. Did anyone really need to see something like that when they were trying to eat breakfast?
UPDATE: Sweet baby Jebus. Apparently, they are allowed to put things like this online. Alert the Department of Total Information Awareness. Notice the subject is caught in a rare moment: With his mouth closed. Story here.
Considering we have ta look at you all day anyway, I think that’s a great shot!
And quite the admirable story. Kudos.
(mmmm… Kudos… )

Yeah, well one never knows about news reporters. In my previous city planner life, I was talking on the phone with a local paper reporter about the planning history of our county. Prior to the early 1950’s a large portion of the county was outside the planning commission’s jurisdiction. At some point I made an analogy to the old medieval maps wherein they sometimes put in a note for unkown territory that “beyond here be dragons”. Well, of course that little bon mot was prominently features in the lead paragraph. Boy, did I get some grief about that!
