Issue: February 17, 2011
Hi everybody,
Brad Bynum must be personally congratulated for going the extra mile this week. He really put his ass on the line when we wanted someone to get his colon irrigated for the cover story. Kat Kerlin did, too, when she stepped up to edit our first Health and Wellness Guide supplement. So did Dennis, when he took a ride to Carson for Dick Gammick's ethics hearing. Fortunately, though, only Brad had to get irrigated. Sigh. Thanks, as always, for reading our newspaper. Feel free to click the links below, but don't forget to pick up the newsprint version for only-in-print columns, cartoons and errors before they get fixed on the web. If not for you, we'd need a little mental health care. Or a little more, anyway.
Thanks,
Brian
