The news department has an important task, which is to write a first draft of history
as it happens; the opinion pages shape how we look at our history. In a 24/7
news environment, many readers already know what happened; opinion pieces
help them decide how to think about it.

From USA Today
Telling readers how to think keeps editors quite hectic,
And conceals the fact that some are certainly dyslectic.
Reporters, on the other hand, suppress their urges to
Tell the folks in Washington just what they ought to do.
Of the two, I think the job of editor is grand --
I’d love to give advice on things I do not understand!
‘I wasn’t hearing any call from God’:
Michele Bachmann opts out of running
for Al Franken’s Senate seat from the Washington Post

for Al Franken’s Senate seat from the Washington Post
Elections are run by the Lord,
Which must make the devil feel bored.
But ev’ry new reign
Old Scratch raises Cain,
And keeps all the virtues ignored.
How Are Cities Paying Their Bills? With Fees on
Trash, Parking, Sewers and 911 Calls
The mayor of Scranton, PA,
Demanded that when children play
At baseball or jacks
Or even eat snacks
A fee to the city they pay.
