Dateline: San Francisco, California
This GNN non-news correspondent is supposed to be enjoying a few days away from the salt mines, and has chosen the Left Coast as the destination. (Eh, what else? This is definitely NOT news!) However, just because she’s supposed to be enjoying herself doesn’t mean her nose for non-news isn’t working.
During a […]

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: this morning
Bongo and his sweetie held a conference about what to do about the library books that were soon to be due. On checking online, Bongo discovered that he no longer wanted the ones that were about to come due. While Bongo doesn’t object to paying library fines - the money goes to the […]

Dateline: Lower US 48
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-correspondent lives!
The steady, monsoonal rain which fell for two days on the Front Range became much more, when this non-reporter and her daughter took off for the second leg of the cross country trip to California.
We decided to take the freeway through the Rockies, as it is decidedly faster than the […]

Dateline: Royal Oak
This non-correspondent reports that launch time of the Road Trip to College, scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, is still on schedule. This, despite the fact that the incoming college freshman took off with her car and her boyfriend and all of the dorm room provisions are still stacked by the […]

1. Must fall from sky, not other way around.
2. Must be wet.
3. Must be substantial enough to soak what it touches.

What is news? This is how dictionary.com defines “news:”
–noun (usually used with a singular verb)
1. a report of a recent event; intelligence, information.
2. a person, thing or event considered as a choice subject for journalistic treatment
My personal take on the “news” is that it’s evil. Ever read Jeffrey Gitomer, noted motivational speaker? He has convinced […]

Dateline: LA County
Your GNN non-entertainment correspondent has a lot on her mind today. To quote a newscaster from the crash of the Hindenburg, “Oh, the humanity!”
Since I’d been over on the other side of the country for so long, I had forgotten that most of LA is connected by freeways the breadth of two landing […]

Dateline: Hollywood (or thereabouts)
Before my friends start calling me and use up my valuable Anytime Minutes to wonder where I’ve been the last couple of months, I have to confess that I’ve been undercover on a special assignment for GNN. This assignment led to the dark unseemly underbelly of the celebrity world, where, as luck would […]
