Help Clarkblog Rank the Top 10 Most Offensive columbian Stories For 2007

[Chief]

What in the name of God possessed them to print that one??!!


I often ask my self that question as I peruse the pages of my morning paper, and since we focus on personal opinion here so often, I think it's fair to look back on what we all read over the psat year, and see what pissed us off the most...

Feel free to make recommendations of your own...

I'll support #1 for Lou, #2 for Kon. and #3 dead last and my favorite read, John Laird..

[Chief]

I'm considering a related thread WB, on who is the most offensive regular writer as well...right now it's a tossup between Lou, Tom and John, but for decidedly different reasons, and Kommandante Kneecap as the most regularly printed civilian letter writer...

There are other candidates that are mere flashes in the pan throughout the year, but these were the most regularly offensive, in my view...

;D

[karma]

I want to check them all, there is more? How about the Chief's top 20??

[Waterbuffalo]

I like reading Joh Laird... He makes me ROFL. The other three, snoozers4 hoozers..

[Waterbuffalo]

Is this what started your rant Chief? http://www.columbian.com/news/localNews/2007/12/12132007_Help-The-Columbian-rank-the-top-stories-of-07-Vote-Now.cfm

Chief, really the rag does this each year for their top 10 news stories come the first of the year. To be truthful is you save these from year to year it's growth and developement and some sad stories which just takes up paper space??? Where's the beef??

[Chief]

It's my way of observing the annual plea from Lou and the gang for the Community to give them a pretty much undeserved pat on the back...

I saw that article yesterday, and that list of 14 stories is what I came up with in response...

;D

[karma]

Thanks Chief, it's just the same old same old and even their newest, everyone has a story is old news??

[Waterbuffalo]

"Lou and the gang" is that a new group of singer/song writers with a depth of writing skills on local WW2 rags?

[Chief]

*snort*

;D

[Waterbuffalo]

Your not going to go listen to their accapella hitz?

[Chief]

My favorite a capella crooner gets published tomorrow....

;D

[Waterbuffalo]

I thought his nickname was the "Ultimate snoozer?"

[Chief]

We clearly have a winner this morning...
