A rather humorous news item came up online today regarding President Obama and the temperature that he keeps the Oval Office. It appears he likes it “hot” – so hot, in fact, that according to Presidential senior advisor, David Axelrod, “You could grow orchids in there.” Of course, this was all in response to inquiries about […]

Dateline: Internet and beyond
If you’ve been wondering where GNN has been (and me, for that matter) for the month of November, wonder no more.
I have spent the last month participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). The goal is to write 50K words in the month of November.
Last night, at 6:30 p.m. EST, this aspiring […]

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.

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 […]

The scene: Inside a 2005 Prius, motoring toward metropolitan Indianapolis for a pre-arranged golf date with a couple of chums.
While on what ended up being a very long road trip for a weekend getaway, this non-correspondent stopped for gas and a quick lunch somewhere in the wilds of northeastern […]

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-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.
Weather Report: Hurricane Ike
This intrepid non-reporter was thousands of miles […]

Dateline: Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away. They still do.
Last night, I went out. I saw a couple of bands play. They were good. I mean really good. On the way out of the stadium, a friend and I were discussing the show. She liked it. She said, “It was almost better than […]
