Days of Infamy

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 29 August 2006 - 12:24pm.

As far as I can figure, there are four indelible dates in American history. Four dates that every American knows or should know. Four dates that stand alone, needing no further description or explanation for people to know what happened. Four dates that defined generations and shaped our nation.

Plane crash hits close to my old Kentucky home

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 28 August 2006 - 12:23pm.

I didn’t sleep much Sunday night. My mind was still trying to wrap itself around the crash of Comair flight 5191 shortly after it took off from Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Ky., early Sunday morning. I guess that’s what happens when you live and cover the news somewhere for more than two years. When you see something horrible happen there and start thinking about what you would be doing if you were still there, it’s tough to get out of your head.

The Class of 2010

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 24 August 2006 - 12:22pm.

Yesterday I blogged about teachers as folks head back to school. Today, it’s the students. Specifically the Class of 2010, which starts college this fall.

Yesterday tiny Beloit College in Wisconsin released its annual Mindset List. The list provides an idea of the culture and climate the incoming freshman class has grown up in.
And it is always an eye-opener for older folks, even those of us who are only a few years older.

Back to School

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 23 August 2006 - 12:21pm.

Yes, it’s that time of year. After a summer of laziness, students are waking up well before noon, grabbing their books and lunch and heading off to school. And lemme tell you, I don’t miss it one bit. In fact, it would take a pretty penny to get me to be a student again. I can’t imagine doing all of that homework, writing all of those papers and taking all of those tests again. I don’t see how my friends who went to grad school did it. I really don’t.

The Strange Case of JonBenet Ramsey

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 18 August 2006 - 12:17pm.

All this hub-bub about an arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case has revived some thoughts that have stirred in my head for a decade now: Why do most people care about this?

Now hear me out. I am certainly not saying that the murder of a six-year-old at Christmas isn’t a horrible thing, because it certainly is. But I’ve never figured out why this particular case garnered so much attention, especially enough for it to make international headlines 10 years later. Let’s be honest: If the Ramsey family was not rich, would JonBenet’s murder have ever made it to the front page, let alone the top story on national newscasts? Probably not. Yet here we are all these years later mezmorized by some guy named John Mark Karr, who claims he killed Ramsey. By the way, I’m not buying his story yet. From what I’ve seen and heard, he appears to be a very troubled man with a clearly unhealthy obsession with the whole JonBenet saga. But I digress.

Welcome to the Blogosphere… our WWAY

Submitted by Kevin Wuzzardo on 15 August 2006 - 12:15pm.

I haven’t even been here three months, and I’m already going where no one has gone before for WWAY NewsChannel 3. I’m taking the station and its website a step further then it’s ever been: Into the Blogosphere.

Some of you probably know what blogs are. Some of you may have heard the term but are not sure about it. Others may have seen the link on our website and clicked out of curiosity.
