A quotation ripped from Dave Barry's most recent column:
Yes, it's a troubling story, and I have yet to see one word about it in the so-called ''major'' news media. They're too ''big'' for this kind of story.Is he speaking of the earthworm saga?
No. But, he could be. Except that the earthworms made The New York Times, which is arguably one of the biggest newspapers on earth. Then again, who reads that rag? Humph. I'm a trifle discouraged that Tom Brokaw is ignoring my worm crisis. I've been waiting for it to be on a news teaser.
However, I did see a news teaser that might help out Sarah, on her quest for all-things-airport-security. The Pittsburgh NBC station (WPXI?) is doing a story on why the Dave Nelsons of the world always get stopped by security screeners. I'd like to know why a certain Julie Young always gets stopped, too. But then again, I kind of like it...being told that you are a fabulous packer is an ego-boost. (What, did you expect anything less than me being great luggage packer?)
