GDA,

Your post to the Courant was brilliant. Oh how I wish I could locate a photo of the jerk who wrote the article. I can't believe what level some journalists will stoop to. The funny thing is that by all appearances, he is a complete nobody, when you google him you get alot of lipstick fluff articles, nothing of any substance.

Anyway, I loved your post.

Kudos to GDA and DJ. Karma points all around!

There's lots of good news today.
First - I received my daily newspaper this morning and guess what? That article was in it, but the "repulsive" word was edited out! That made a big difference! The de_script_ion of William Hung was also modified to be less offensive. So I wrote another comment on the article online thanking him for the change. Unfortunately, the article in its original state is still being carried online.

Next - a positive review:

Rosalee,

I can't believe they made edits to that article. Surely it didn't have anything to do with our posts? For whatever reason, I'm glad it certainly was needed.

How jealous I am of Carmen,... course anyone that is that loyal to follow Chris all over the place is deserving of a shout out!

Oh that was cool that Chris mentioned me. However, I live in Jacksonville, Tawny lives in Miami. Hey but thats is OK with me. BTW-- I am not driving to DC. I will be flying in. That is way too long of a drive for me to drive. I only drove to Houston because I drove with my son there. (He is going to college in Texas & I went to get him settled). Thanks Rosalee for finding that article. That just made my day!!!
Carmen

Carmen,

You are certainly deserving of the shout out. I wish I had the time and freedom to do what you are doing-good for you!
