Let's see...275 million people at what? 59 cents a pop? Let's just say that about 150 million would take them up on it (given vegetarians and people that don't have Taco Bells)...that would be a huge hit for them...that would wipe out the money that Tricor is using to try and buy the Vancouver Grizzlies.

I always wonder whether folks have seen a story or something about the images I post. I don't really follow news the same way everyone else does, I think. I do it mostly over the net, using my.yahoo.com (customized portal) and a collection of news-aggregating websites. Sometimes I catch the 10 o'clock news on Fox. I don't watch the national TV news at all and rarely read newspapers.
So, how many of my images are something you've seen before in some other format?

Truth be told, I find them interesting...and at times, humorous, like today. You also use images that wouldn't even make CN8...so the diversity is a good thing. (That's not to say that the images are bad, but that TV news never seems to have time for the interesting little things anymore.)
Speaking of news, I had no idea that Renee Chenault of NBC10 was marrying Congressman Fattah in 2 weeks...wow. I also didn't know that Larry Mendte was married to an anchor at KYW-3.
See...those detractors are wrong...the Daily News CAN be informative. (And it's a lot easier to read on the El than the Inky.)
