    What's with the pick problems? Did the dog get the pickers, too?

    C'mon, they got the black guy above the fold. It might not be Obama, but he's THEIR black Democrat. Local, local, local, bitches.

    LOL but that just may be their logic.

    Thier logic was that everyone would know who won the election before they went to bed, so why make it a big deal. I guess they didn't see the historic part to it.

    No they saw it. They just don't have the sharpest minds making key decisions.

    Here's the editor's response to the whole thing.

    http://www.rockdalecitizen.com/main.asp?SectionID=8&SubSectionID=8&ArticleID=4991&TM=32289.2

    From the letter ...
    "When our readers went to bed Tuesday night, they knew that Obama had been elected their next president. What they did not know was who had been elected commission chairman, who had been elected sheriff, who had been elected to the board of education, who had been elected clerk of courts and who had been elected to the board of commissioners. Our responsibility is to serve our readers, and those stories comprised the news package that led our front page."

    Translation: We are local. You want national and world news, read it in another newspaper.

    At least they're honest about it.
     
  10. So who wound up with this plum sports reporter gig and have they hung themselves with a mouse cable yet?
