I full intended this post to focus on Washington Post Ombudsman Deborah Howell’s statement that she is considering taking Jeff Jarvis’s advice and state a blog. Yes, it is a much better way to reply to 600 emails on the same subject than writing a column and waiting 24 hours for a few paragraphs...

Save newspapers by rebuilding them
I’ve expressed my admiration for Jeff Jarvis many times on this site. Once again, he impresses me with his advocacy for rebuilding newspapers from the ground up, taking into consideration that their Web sites can and will become more important their their dead-tree versions:

- Conan is going on tour March 11, 2010Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Peoria. But I’m a fan of Conan O’Brien, and I thought I’d mention that he’s just announced he’ll be taking his act on the road to thirty cities. He’s calling it: “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.” It’s billed as [...] […]
- Council Roundup 3/9/2010 March 11, 2010I started to drive to Peoria City Hall Tuesday night for the council meeting, but before I even got there, they were finished! The agenda was short, and council members Spain and Sandberg were both absent. The consent agenda passed unanimously, and no one removed any items from it. The one regular [...] […]
- Civic leaders line up to tout Wonderful Development March 11, 2010I regret that I couldn’t make it to the Illinois Finance Authority’s public hearing on Tuesday regarding the Wonderful Development (i.e., the proposed downtown Marriott hotel project).

- Humor? Not Funny, These People are in Charge! March 9, 2010I've taken this blog down as being old "humor" adding different names to embarrass people under the misstated tile of "Not Funny". As it turns out these are funny but not at the expense of others.Thanks to those who called my attention to the fraudulent statements. I apologize. […]
- Renting Versus Buying - Bad Debt or Good Debt March 9, 2010An article by Eugene N. White, a professor of economics at Rutgers University, says that the government is making a major effort to keep those home owners facing foreclosures in homes they can't afford, when the government should let them go back to renting until they can really afford to buy. He says, "Renewed efforts to keep people in their homes […]
