My hometown's 15 minutes of fame

Over. Thank goodness.

I'm happy the child was found, safe, sound, and unharmed.

And I'm forever grateful that now CNN, FOX NEWS, et al have departed, and will no longer be showing the place I grew up as the land of rubes and idiots and hicks.

Some of them, are, sure. But most, not so much.

I'm a reporter, and I'm appalled at how little effort was put into finding the intelligent to interview. Then again, the intelligent don't usually hang out at the Quik-E-Marts of the world.

Sigh.
