Miscellany

D'ya think CNN might could have come up with a better headline for this article?

And let's discuss this for a moment (this is about the getting-way-too-much-coverage story about the "Runaway Bride" in Georgia): Fernando Mateo -- of Hispanics Across America -- said Wilbanks' original story that she was kidnapped by a Hispanic man only adds to racial stereotyping. Mateo said he'd like to see her perform community service for a Hispanic group as part of any punishment.

Good grief. Well, as a member of the male community, I'd like to add that this only reinforces the stereotype of men as abductors, too. Can we have her perform some community service for a man group? Perhaps a lodge gathering or something, I'm sure they could come up with a service for her to perform.

Hey, the sun is shining in Denver again!
