  • July 27, 2008 editorial: Making 31W safer?

    Comedian Jay Leno must not read The News-Enterprise. Nor, apparently, does David Letterman.

    Because if they, or their staffs, ran across the July 14-15 headline, “Duct tape to rescue,” surely they would have tried to get some yuks out of the story.

    The headline pointed out the dangerously crowded, narrow roadway along Dixie Avenue (U.S. 31W) between North Miles Street and St. Johns Road, and asked, “What can be done?”

    FRANKFORT — The state’s flag-lowering policy to mourn fallen service members has been revised  again after drawing criticism from veterans.

    It was another text message.

    This text messaging craze, I don't get.

    But there the daughter sat, her thumb madly finding letters for a quick response. Never had I seen a thumb move in rapid fire form like this one. Obviously, she was a skilled veteran of the text messaging craze.
