Mika Brzezinski is my new journalistic hero. She refused to read a bulletin about Paris Hilton this week, attempting to burn the script on-air. When her lighter didn’t work, she ripped it up. When a producer handed her another copy, she put it through a paper shredder – all on-air. Whoohoo!

I applaud Ms. Brzenzinski. How refreshing! It’s about time more people on reputable news networks protested real news being replaced by stories that should only be on E! News.

Watch what happened on YouTube:

In a rare poetic urge, I jotted this down a while ago while I was waiting for a train on a blustery autumn day, and thought I’d send it out into cyberspace…


a lonely bench on an autumn peninsula
overlooking cool rippling waters
watches a warm sunset painted across warms the horizon
but the bench remains chilled and solitary
contemplating visitors past
