Slow News Day Story of the Day

You're probably wondering why there aren't many posts on SG today. There's one simple reason for that: nothing's really going on. Everyone's focused on the cease fire in Lebanon and no one's doing much of anything else.

It's tough to make fun of the news when no one's reporting anything. Sometimes, as a journalist, you have to dig for stories. You have to comb the streets with a fine comb and find the story that's been overlooked for far too long. It could be a profile on the guy who sells magazines on the corner, or a report on how the summer's traffic is going locally, but it has to be something and it has to be dug for.

Or you could just pull stuff off the top of your head.
