Today’s top news: Algona makes national news with arrival of giant Cheeto
This is the dumbest national news item I've been aware of since . . . well, ever. What possible news value do people see in this? There isn't any. The Cheeto isn’t even that big. In all the pictures it looks to be maybe three times the diameter of a quarter. I don't understand why newspapers are even bothering to cover this. I could see a humor columnist writing something or maybe a section on a weird news site, but this has no place among real stories. I mean maybe if the Cheeto were five feet tall or something it would make sense to put up a small story in the back pages of the local paper, but this is ridiculous. Further more, if Algona's only pride and joy is this Cheeto, as evidence suggests is the case, the city really needs to reexamine itself and figure out what went wrong.
In other news: The beloved Governor Ehrlich wants to bring the "gaming industry" (aka: casinos and con-artists) to Maryland. This is a great idea provided he wants to go down in history as the man who destroyed an entire state. Won't someone think of the hockey players?
