Her
I did something this weekend I rarely do. I watched a movie that was not rated “G.” There wasn’t an animated princess, minion, fish, etc. I saw the movie “Her” at night in an actual theater. I didn’t even smuggle popcorn or candy inside, opting instead to waste my son’s college fund at the concession stand. When the popcorn was gone I suggested my husband refill the container so we could bring some home to the kids. “What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked. We laughed. Then, I picked a few kernels out of my dentures and hiked up my nude knee high pantyhose. I will be honest,…

Best News Bloopers of 2013
This is too good not to share. I made my share of mistakes back in the day. I even made the photographer delete video the second we returned to the station, but nothing I did was as bad as what is in this video.

Around the www
I received a comment from an angry reader that started with “Are you kidding me?” Yes, ma’am. I am usually kidding. You need to buy panties with stronger elastic. I am not in the mood for anonymous insults. When you work in TV news you have to put up with a lot of BS. Comment: “I don’t like your haircut.” Response: Thank you for your feedback. Comment:“You’re a dumb pig.” Response: “Thank you for your feedback.” Comment: “Your newscast is so painful it makes my eyes bleed.” Response: Thank you for your feedback. I can assure you the reporter, anchor, producer, etc. is thinking something completely different. If the walls in…

Heartbreaking
I had never heard of Adrian Peterson until January 8, 2013. There was an article in our local newspaper about the star football player. I live in Buffalo Bills country. We may not have a Superbowl trophy on the shelf, but we are dedicated fans. So, why on earth was everybody gushing about a running back for the Minnesota Vikings? Adrian Peterson did something off the field that made him a real hero. He called a teenager, battling a rare form of cancer, just to talk. Blake Cognata took the call from his bed at Strong Memorial Hospital. For five minutes Blake was in his glory, speaking on…

Take this job and shove it!
Clearly this woman worked in a newsroom. (cause it looks like a newsroom) I had a similar boss at one point. News Directors come and go like men through Taylor Swift’s dressing room. In fact, that guy who eliminated my position via text message and email after a decade of dedicated service? (paging Mrs. Bitterman) Yeah, he just got kicked to the curb. Karma is a wonderful thing. Anyway, this other guy would start each morning meeting reading from a tally sheet. “People love the homicide video. That got the most hits.” I am so happy their loss is your gain a**hole. There are journalists who actually care about people…
