In a way, I'm glad I haven't been able to get the necessary info. It's not a story I want to do anyway, to be honest... it'll just stir people up and get them talking about stuff they have no idea about anyway. Know what I mean?
My morning writer may have some attitude about not having a story to use on it at 6 AM, but his newscast is not my responsibility, so he can sit on it and spin. (Besides, I've got plenty of other stories for local use today... we've just had one army national guardsman killed by enemy fire in Iraq.. a desperate, emergency need for blood donations for all the local hospitals, and finally some drought aid. Some farmers here have lost 70 percent or more of their crops because we have a severe drought... almost 12 inches below our yearly rain totals. ) Sorry for the OT.
