Dateline: All over the world
GNN Non-News is pausing for a moment of silence in thoughtful contemplation of our current worldwide economic crisis.
This non-correspondent is waiting with a safety net in anticipation of brokers, politicians and the like falling out of the sky.
All three of our fans should come back later.

Dateline: The US
Recent failure of the stock markets in New York and beyond have caused the value of most stocks to fall. As a result, what was once a fairly healthy portfolio for the Non-News Editor (supposedly helping her to usher in old age without going to the poor farm) is now barely worth the […]

Dateline: Northeastern Indiana
Date: Friday, September 26, 2008
The scene: Inside a 2005 Prius, motoring toward metropolitan Indianapolis for a pre-arranged golf date with a couple of chums.

As we all know, word of last week’s collapse of Wall Street’s most prestigious financial and insurance instititutions have had the entire globe on pins and needles.
However, Non-News has noticed that for the most part, many are unaware of the economic Armageddon which is upon us. GNN initially predicted a heavy run […]

This non-weather report is brought to you by the Bead Show recently held at the Rock Financial Showplace. No, it’s not really, but you knew that coming in. This weather report is, however, fashionably late, all dressed up in a tuxedo, of course.

Dateline: Southeastern Michigan
During the month of August, the area was treated to ONE, count ‘em, ONE rainstorm.

Well, it is Day 1 of the cross country journey, and I have a few non-newsical items to report.
