Blogante News for Tuesday - August 28th, 2007

I had someone ask me why Gonzales’ resignation wasn’t my top-top story. I had to think about this for a minute for although I have been doing this for 2 years now, it was a valid question. (Thanks for making me think Danny) As an answer, all of the posts below aren’t in any order of importance - just as I come across them (ie chronologically backwards). It was a top story, no doubt - but it was also getting tons of coverage on TV, etc. along with Mr. Vick. Of the top stories and my picks below, do any of you, my dear readers, think that any of them will get primetime TV coverage? What I do is create a picture, a collage, of news from around the nation and more than likely few are going to be picked up on National news. Some stories might make it on local primetime, but even then nothing, and I mean nothing, can compare to the comprehensiveness and uniqueness of what I do daily.

Gracias, Tomás
